You are right about most facts but you you cut the range short. Eletric Cars today call go up to 300 miles.
Here is a quote from the tesla site -
"It's light, durable, recyclable, and it is capable of delivering enough power to accelerate the Tesla Roadster from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds. Meanwhile, the battery stores enough energy for the vehicle to travel about 220 miles without recharging, something no other production electric vehicle in history can claim."


Here is the site - http://www.teslamotors.com/

Truely is ground breaking, altouth this one may break the 50k, the same company will be relesing a sedan sytle car that is cheaper and will have the same range just a slower acceleration.

On a side note, if you bought an eletric car for 50k and it only goes 60km, you got ripped off.
