----------
Technology doesn't stand still. All the old ideas about electric cars don't apply anymore. See below!

How about an electric pickup truck? Or an electric SUV? The Phoenix electric 'sport utility truck', out later this year, does at least 95mph, carries 5 passengers plus cargo, accelerates and handles great, can go up to 250 miles on a charge, and can charge its batteries in only TEN MINUTES. Here's a link:

Yes, I would drive it. The electricity to charge an EV only costs about a penny per mile, compared to 10 to 15 cents for gasoline.
*
Maintenance costs on an EV are virtually nil. Electric motors have only one moving part, and need no oil changes, coolant, filters, or anything else.
*
And newer battery designs are good for better than 10 years before replacement is needed.
*
In case you're wondering, I drive an EV. A very old one, built in 1980. My motor has never needed service in 25 years!

Well for 1 Electric cars dont go very far before you have to recharge them, Recently, a startup company, Tesla Motors has begun EV production. In a few months Tesla has sold hundreds of its high-performance Roadsters; they are powered by Lithium-Ion battery packs (LION) similar to, but larger than, those found in laptop computers. The Tesla Roadster can accelerate from 0-60mph in 4 seconds and has a range of 250 miles. This is the best you can hope for in an electric car. Its a good idea and everything but they are economical enough for me.

do no longer opt for it, they arnt broadly used adequate yet so can no longer visit far, and it may be no longer common to get a replenish in case you ever went on a visit away. additionally if it ever broke down as a results of fact they're nonetheless relatively uncommon the cost for the restoration is vast! If i've got been you i could purchase a smaller petrol vehicle and rigidity it much less and at slower speeds.

They look dorky. When that is all left, I'll be driving the oldest car around.

I like to drive fast and i think I could push the car faster than it could drive, so no.
