if this link is accurate quite a few

0-60 Times | 0 to 60 MPH and Quarter Mile Times for Fast Sports Cars, Muscle Car and 2011 Luxury Car performance stats!

I'm not saying that elecric cars are bad, in many ways electrics already are competative with their gas compeditors. Its just that asside from having a specialty rock crawler, or a dedicated commuter its not for me yet.
