Hmmm ... electric cars are expensive. People that can afford expensive cars can afford these gas prices. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Make them affordable w/o looking like an egg with wheels and maybe ... just maybe people will buy them.
I’d love to have one. Specifically, the Tesla Model S. Sweet car ... but dang - $$$$$$$$$$
I just acquired a Nissan Leaf (probably the only conservative in the country driving one). I got it on a TWO year lease (never thought I’d lease a car), but I got it for $30/month more a month than the gas that I was paying. Plus my employer will pay for the charging at my building, so the cost to charge is going to be VERY minimal for me (weekends, etc). I just went from $.17/mile for gas to $.025/mile electric assuming that I do ALL the charging on my own and not through my employer. Felt like it was almost a draw when you take into account maintenance on my current car that was needed. I did it for the economics, not to save the planet.... :)
The Fisker Carma (gag me with a pitchfork) looks great. I hear it has real problems though. And it has gone under from what I understand.
It’s displays blinked. It’s inside was super tight, due to the batter down the center.
I sure like the exterior styling. That isn’t going to move you one foot though.
