Thanks for the info. If the engineers and scientists can get the range to about 100 miles and high voltage recharge rates to <15 minutes then I believe the tipping point will be reached. Heck the Volt if it delivers as advertised, would work for me in my present circumstances. The numbers you mention would be super and would carry the day. Still as an old drag racing buff there is something really sweet about the sound of a big inch V8 spinning up 8000 rpm.

AGW “scientists” please take note...this is the way science really works.

EV's can kick but in drag races and truck/tractor pulls. http://www.designnews.com/article/277418-Drag_Racing_Goes_Electric.php

Electric yields maximum torque immediately, which is reportedly neck snapping fun.

Vehicle builders are studying adding sound, for safety sake and for fun.

So you may soon see electrics go zero to 60 in 3 seconds flat, with your choice of soundtracks.
