I'll take the range problem on any day in my Toyota Tacoma compared to any electric car.

My diesel has a gas tank holding just over 14 gallons.During the summer (winter diesel figures are a bit lower) my car can get 53MPG (actual MPG,as calculated by the "fillup to fillup" method) at a steady 65MPH.That works out to a range of 700+ miles.

And when it needs "recharging" I can do so in about 4 minutes at any one of about 35,000 "recharging stations" coast-to-coast.

What car (brand, yr & model) do you currently own? I’m seriously looking to switch mine as soon as I can afford to.

Toyota makes the best cars. I think their hybrids are fantastic. If they had a diesel hybrid you’d get 100 miles per gallon and the electric phase would also contribute to the power.
