I think we as a country need to start asking who are the people running our country? Electric cars are a wonderful idea, they were really big in Demolition Man... There is only 1 problem, where does all the electricity needed to "Fuel" these cars come from ?? We have not been allowed to built a new nuclear or clean burning coal fired plant since 1971.Once you put 1 million of these cars on the road by 2015 like President Obama has called for... The above model falls apart. The cost per mile will jump from 2 cents per mile $1.54 per mile or $154.00 per 100 miles . The cost of electricity will sky rocket, simple supply and demand.
That's if you can find a high output station to re-fuel in less than an hour.. If you are charging at home it will take 8-10 hours. All of these cars will crash a already fragile power grid in most cities during high usage hours. Our electric grid was deigned and built in the 1950's. Where is all of the cheap easy to get electric going to come from??
