Like so many so called good ideas from politicians and other well intentioned, but clueless people, total electric cars are impractical for most of us. They don't have enough range and we don't have a large enough electric grid to supply the power needed to charge them if all of our gasoline cars were replaced by electric. Hybrids solve this problem, but at great expense, and the mileage increase over conventional gasoline cars is not large, and getting smaller as gasoline powered cars become more efficient. When the cost of ownership over time is computed most of us decide that a small conventional gasoline powered car is less costly to run. We tend to vote with our feet, that's why Cheys Volt is not selling as well as predicted. Even with a huge taxpayer subsidy it's still an $18,000 car that costs $40,000. Most of us are way smarter than that. This is my rant and I'm stickin' to it. Common ordinary people are way smarter than the idealists that run our government think.
