There's at least one problem with electric cars. If everyone drove them, at 5 PM when they got home from work, everyone would plug-in and charge. There would be an unbelievable load on the power grid as that time of day is peak already. Power plants would have to upgrade tremendously and that would in turn be charged back to us. Nuclear power seems to be the only choice, if they can put them underground.

Maybe I keep seeing the glass 1/2 empty. =) Only downfall is our battery/fuel cell recycling and waste programs SUCK. For right now, I am putting an HHO system on my gas guzzler. I agree that the American automakers should have kept supporting the electric car, instead of killing it in favor of building giant POS like EXCURSIONS, EXPEDITIONS, etc. Their sales volume would have royally screwed Toyota for a LONG time. I bet those assholes are next in line wanting to be bailed out.

I agree. Heads out of their asses would be nice. At least Tesla Motors has a good idea.. GM, Ford, and all of the other 'major' auto manufacturers are headed for a serious crash if they don't follow the examples set by Tesla and ZAP. I will never buy another fossil fuel burning car in my lifetime. Ever.

There is always a waste byproduct from this. More than 50% of energy generated in the US is still derived from coal. We need to start from the ground up on renewal sources of energy. Govt needs to take its head out of its ass.

Sorry buddy, but Chrysler just unveiled 3 electric cars or 2010, including a sports car that rivals the Tesla, along with a Minivan, and JEEP !! Also GM unveiled the Volt !!

dont bring the global warming hoax into it, we want to step outside their whole profit monopoly of the 'elites' cough (fuck jp morgan) cough. free ways of producing electricity is the answer. for that, you have to go back to tesla's work.
