^ Thor, I used to be extremely interested in the electric/hybrid. My latest concern though is how long until these batteries end up being just as horrible as the ones for your cell phone? If they start out great and all, but eventually they won't hold a charge to get you through a Tim Hortons Drive-Thru then I don't care how cool the car looks, or how cheap it is/was...I want one that works!

I also know that with the increased cost of these vehicles in general that the break-even is about 20 years down the road...so the economics of them really defy logic at this point.
