I have no objection in principle to an electric vehicle. It needs to have a range that is usable in a single day round town. It's got to go at least 200 miles on s single charge with heat, lights and tunes at 20^o temps or below.

No, you're not going to drive it across the country, but for an "around town" vehicle, it wouldn't be bad.

At 75 large you could take a cab back and forth and still be $$$$ ahead.

I agree.

What worries me is how reliable it would be. I'd want someone else to do the beta testing.

Electric vehicles grossly overload our already overloaded power grid, and for no valid reason at all.

They are an unacceptable waste of mineral resources, since they force the owner to purchase an extra vehicle, or leave their family in extreme danger if they have need to evacuate due to natural or man made disaster.

Electric vehicles should carry a 300% luxury tax to offset their negatives.

Neither do I. Were it not for all the tax money being used to support them, I'd be very interested in the competition to come up with a successful one.
