This whole electric car stuff never caught me. I understand it but the batteries SUCK and have always been bad. With LiFePO3 batteries that they are switching to are better but still take too much time to charge. I never understood the logic to not just do a hybrid with an onboard generator to recharge. You could use gasoline, propane, biofuel, hell wood if you wanted. Then charge up a smaller battery and just plug it in when you could to safe fuel.
