What I've always found fascinating about using electric motors for propulsion is that you can keep with or stay ahead of trends for power. Batteries get better? Put in new batteries? Solar panels get cheap? Add solar to your house/work. California manages to get a huge solar plant working? Bonus! Do nothing!
Point being you can divest your energy source from your car. Granted right now it's expensive as hell and the ROI is low for most folks, but look at some of the leases available right now for the Ford Focus EV, Fiat 500 EV, and the Nissan Leaf. It's kinda insane how cheap they are! I think the only viable car for a primary vehicle that hit's all my check boxes is the Chevy Volt, but for a second car any of the aforementioned rides would really be neat. |
