As Leno says, the Tesla will be a rich man’s toy. I’m looking forward to the Chevy Volt — I think a plug-in hybrid is a better solution than a pure electric vehicle — and the Volt is supposed to be reasonably priced.
No, I understand that, I read once where if every car in the US was switched to electric, we’d save 9% on the oil we need, and that just doesn’t seem like a big savior to me. We need a completely new idea.
