Just under 50 grand CAD (or ~$49,700 USD), and
only 60km (or 37 miles?)
No.
The reason pure electric cars are not widely available are exactly those two reasons.
High prices & low range (in mileage).
Gas, or better yet, gas/electric hybrids just make more sense at this point in time.
The best pure electric cars (that have been marketed to the public - ie: from the Solectria Company, & others) can get at least 50 miles per charge cycle btw.
They use regenerative braking systems to help bump them into that range.
Until brand new or better battery technology comes out to make a 100 mile range possible, I can & will not see one in my immediate future. Especially at the 50,000 Dollar mark. That is just ridiculous at this day & age.
