I want one. I love technology (I’m not an Enviro. wacko). I also like the quietness and torque. I have a Hybrid Nissan Altima. Great car!!! I’m just waiting for Obama to lose. Not going to buy one if he is President.

If only we could invent cars that run on a fuel source that is easily transported...maybe a liquid of some sort.

Electric cars are still years away from being practical.

Considering that the Backer Electric was motoring around New York back in the gaslight era (late 1800's) that been one hell of a long wait for a practical package. Some things were never meant to be.

With power grids and public charging stations down there was, and in some places still is no way to get energy into their cars.

Get a gas powered generator to charge it!
