Might not be that far in the future we all have one. I think once the Battery charging issue is addressed, and big car names catch on and start to produce electric cars more. Then without doubt this would be a great option for us all. Electric cars are becoming better and better all the time, and the performance is gaining in power also.

At this stage, I don't really need them as I can drive to work and back on a single charge and just plug my car in overnight.

I think govt. needs to push infrastructure development to encourage production of the electric car...and I'm fiscally very conservative.

When you consider the fact they burn gasoline, and utilize electric components to get far greater gas mileage then conventional combustion engines... it is almost in my mind like a crutch to bridge the gap to 100% electrical cars. When you think of it however. Electricity that is still needed to charge these electric cars, and there are many obstacles that have to be navigated towards our way to a cleaner and greener future. Don't get me wrong though, I do like the idea of hybrids, but I just wonder sometimes if this is a corporate and government measure to get us "used" to the idea of clean and green in a gradual process. This is why I contemplate at times, "why?" Is Americans and our way of life "not ready" for drastic change? I think so.
