ok, so you are convinced that electric cars are a "good" idea. so explain how paying 70K for an EC and then 3 years later paying another 20K for a new battery is a good idea. Then tell us how saving $200/month on gas is a "good" idea when your electric bill goes up by $300/month to recharge every night. Then tell us how its a "good" idea to blow the power grid every night recharging car batteries. Then tell us how its a "good" idea to limit your range to 300 miles (unless you use the heater, AC, radio, wipers, defroster, etc). It might be a good idea if the batteries would just provide power forever-------but that can never happen. dream on, idiot.
