Electric vehicles are taking off.

I have been seeing a really big interest in EV's lately.

Small dealerships are popping up.

All the major manufacterers have vehicles in the works.

All sorts of classes, lectures, and seminars are appearing.

Government is creating tax incentives.

Our gasoline culture is starting to change...

I have a YouTube account ( http://www.youtube.com/user/BenjaminNelson )where I have been posting videos on my work with electric vehicles and alternative transportation. I just checked it a few minutes ago and saw that some of my videos which always had tens of views, suddenly have hundreds of views. Most of the traffic seems to be coming from YouTube searches for "electric car"

I really feel that electric cars are going to hit the same way as cell phones or computers. They have been around a long time, but they will suddenly hit critical-mass and everyone will have them.

Right before cell phones went popular, they were very expensive and only had by people who really had good specific use for them. Seemingly overnight, everyone had them.

Electric vehicles are going to be the same thing, just you watch!
