When they make an affordable Electric Car (oh let’s say $30,000) that can outperform my Mustang GT and take me 300-400 miles at 80 MPH and then be recharged fully in less than 20 minutes I’ll be interested. Until then there is no reason to even consider one.
Not every city commuter needs to travel 400 miles in a day. Besides, plugging in at home eliminates the need to wait in line at the gas pump.
