All these new electrics cars are a joke. Battery technology is not ready for it in terms of mass consumers. The tax breaks come from people paying taxes so you can drive 100 miles. Add in the fact the batteries are made from precious metals makes it less attractive. If someone wants a electric currently they are buying it for the fact it is a more earth friendly car/status symbol and not economical reasons. The gov't should realize this and not offer incentives.

Currently technology favors diesels in terms of cost effectiveness. Gov't should be offering incentives on new cars with clean diesels.

On the topic of Spark Cd, that is bad given current compact/small/mid-size car standards. Most are .32 or below.
