I drive only 5-20 miles a day, but part of that is on the highway at 70 mph. I need an electric car that can do decent speed, but I don't have $100,000 for a Tesla.
When are the major manufacturers going to sever this incestuous relationship they have with the oil companies and start selling what folks like me need?
I'll probably always have a fueled vehicle - nitrogen gas or hydrogen or fuel cell or biodiesel or even (gasp) gasoline - for long distance trips and hauling the family.
But for my daily drives to work and back, I don't need capacity, or even much range, just reliability and speed. And I don't seem to be alone - there are a lot of drivers on the road with me who are alone in their cars.
Does anyone have an idea when we might see a real "plug-in" car?
