Liberals think that everyone in America lives in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles and takes (at most) short-hops to the store maybe 4 or 5 miles from where they live. I commute 75 miles a day. How is an electric car supposed to help me?

Stay overnight at work while the damn oversized golf cart recharges?

It would drop your fuel costs to about 1/3 of present.

The BBC program Top Gear road tested a Tesla. And it was very impressive. It can beat any gas powered car in a drag race because the induction drive yields insane acceleration.

That being said, they only test drove it within a 50 mile radius of New York City due to the lack of charging facilities elsewhere. And even at that they nearly ran out of juice.

I ride my electric assist bicycle to work when weather is cooperating. The thing flies and gets 40 miles per charge if you are too lazy to pedal. I have logged about 7,400 miles on it commuting in 3 years. I only have a 4 mile commute each way.

I think the hybrid combination gas and electric is the best choice for a car.
