another problem with electric cars is , in my opinion, safety. I mean think about using the jaws of life to open up a door and hitting a couple high voltage lines. In order to get a really fast electric car you need a pretty darn lot of current.
maybe one day I will buy an electric car, and use the batteries to power one kickash stereo. and then retrofit a gasser powerplant so that it might actually be efficient for driving. thoughts?
