Tesla Motors aside, no electric cars are in our future. Lacking infra-structure, range, and weighed down by excessive costs. Get used to driving that gas powered transportation.

Let's not forget that they still don't have the laws in place to road tax these future electric wonders either. Until they get that in place the only electric cars on the road will be toys.

Keep going with your projects everyone.

our best bet is to convert our own vehicles to electric.

forget the manufactures producing it for us, not going to happen at least not for a long time like ResinRat2 said. as if it hasn't been a long time already!

I don't believe it! The Toyota Prius is available now, the Plug in Prius is to
be available soon, This is the worst case. Automobile shows are saying
that in the years 2010, 2011 be replete with electric offerings. The key is
the overunity energy sources that will make running these.. be free.
Manufacturing hydrocarbon fuels is tough due to the Q/A quality assurance
chemistry required, Manufacturing hydrogen is relatively easy... So in
general, solutions will not come using standard ICE internal combustion
engines, electrics are fine though. You got to give the engineers time to
work. Once styling features become unique to electrics, the ICE's will
disappear like the north pole on a warm day.

The way battery technology is at the moment, I still think Hydrogen is the way forward !

until the motors are sold for a realistic price, like 1500 for a 3 phase motor, and a controller for the same realistic price, 1500.

the motor and controller should not be more than a gasoline equal, think about it, which uses less materials, few parts, and can be completely build by machines? If we aren't making electric motors for less than a gas engine, something is very wrong.

The same goes for the batteries, until we are charging a fair and resonable price for this stuff, we won't be able to have it, unless we make the decision to just do it. And suck up the cost ourselves.

Our world will not change if we ourselves are not willing to change, we must change our thinking, stop think about how much you can get away with charging for something, and learn what fair and reasonable business model is, and how to impliment it.

I seriously doubt if people are willing to change, they are too profit motivated, they would never sacrifice profit, for morals.
