Sorry, but as it looks now Electric cars are nothing for me, the only car I could replace with a electric one are a station wagon and as far as I know I haven't seen any station wagon electrics. Also I would be limited by the distance the car can travel on full charge since I dont live in a big city I got quite the distance to drive to get anywhere also I got 270km (167miles) drive to my work so seems none of them can take me to work on full charge and with that drive to work I don't want to have to spend time waiting for it to charge to lenghten the trip further.

Also since I like cars, I want more horse power then the electrics can give and also a part of cars I enjoy is to repair and tinker with the engine etc myself, also how far would the distance be if you constantly drive at around 93mp/h as I do on the freeway?

Would also miss the sound of a petrol engine ;)

Sure a electric car could work for my wife and me for short distance trips to the store etc but that would be a huge cost in buying the car for verry little use :/
Since I have a big workshop garage with 2 lifts and all tools ever needed it would be such a waste to use it only for changing tyres ;)

Edit: Oh a thought what would happen to all car mechanics if electric cars invaded? Demoted to changing tyres? big chunk of unemployed people ;)
