Electric Vehicles, in favor of? or disapprove?

[artdutra04]

I would not get the car table you described.

But if you changed the specs to 200+ mile range, 135 mph max speed, and 0-60 acceleration in under 4 seconds, then I'd get one if I had that kind of cash. But I don't, so until they come out with a more affordable model in the coming decade, the closest I'll get to an electric car is my i180 Segway.

It's the same point as the people who order super-size value means at fast food chains with a Diet Coke.

It's just to artificially give them the warm and fuzzies that they did something good.

(By no means am I against hybrid or electric cars, it's just that a hybrid Yukon seems pointless. You can get a smaller (and cheaper) car and get the same improvement in gas mileage).
