my girlfriend was telling me about an article she was reading. This engineer down in new mexico just built a roadster that does 0-60 in 4 seconds and is 100% electric. It has a range of 250 miles and costs about 90K but you are paying .01 per mile in electricity. You will probablly say as I did, great but who cares, 90k is outrageous. But this particular engineer is working from the top down. he feels it's alot easier selling a few of these cars to make a base than work on economy size.
Plus battery technology isn't quite there yet for the range the average person will want. He thinks by 2010 there will be a (today's market) 30K sedan version readily availible with a 250 mile range.
The difference with this guys way of thinking is he doesnt think people should have to sacrifice what they are used to in order to be more efficient with their energy usage.
At the rate things are going I hope this isn't just another article thats hip for the times.
I keep saying he because I can't remember his name.
