Hence hydrids. On the bright side in the electric cars, you put your foot down and all power is delivered to the wheels instantly you don't need to wait a second for the engine to catch up with you putting your foot down. Having driven an electric car at an event I wouldn't want one... I hate how quite they are I would have to look at the speedo constantly. I however in my current car, just listen to the engine to gauge its speed like most people. This is biased anyway as I'm a classic car guy. Electricity has a future if the batteries improve, else no. I however will stick to my classic cars and kill the planet for aslong as possible.

I agree with you, the batteries need improvements but I like that electric cars are actually moving forward as you never know how high fuel prices will actually go and for how long we will actually have the resources.
