Bingo! I wouldn't be interested in it either. I drive 60 miles atleast a day and that car is only good for that or maybe a little more. Even with that range there's no way for me to plug it in at work to even recharge it if I wanted.
Currently vehicles that are strictly electric powered are limited to small distances so even those that buy them aren't making much of an impact to help the enviroment at all.
(I should mention my commuter car is a 4 cyl (2.2) Camry that now costs me $60 or so to fill the tank. Overall not bad as when you factor all the costs in besides the gas like the low personal property tax and having only liability on it as it's 11 years old (1997 model) all paid for and has been for a few years now. If the car was new then I'd get hit on the property tax and be also required to have collision and comprehensive on it too if leased or making payments. You have to weigh everything when deciding if it's worth it or not to switch to another vehicle, same as to what Sanddrag was referring too.)
