I don't get electric vehicles right now, I think it's much too soon. They put a bigger strain on our power grid charging up, with electricity sourced from coal burning plants and using expensive Li-ion batteries that have a negative effect on the environment during manufacturing and disposal(not a great impact, but still worth mentioning). I see the world adjusting much more easily and effectively to focusing on veggie powered combustion engines.

That's why I recently joined too, to convert the unwashed masses.
