Wes,
I agree and if I could have an electric car like I want it, then I would love to have one. Batteries would run for at least 1,000 miles between charges, it would accelerate like mad, handle well, and be easy to work on. More and more what I am seeing is the regular garages being forced out of business as only the dealers can work on the newer cars. But I would love to see a really clean and economical vehicle. Our problem here with even the hybrids is the distances people have to travel and the high and steep mountains they have to go over. There are some places it is a long drive and many miles between places to get gas, so even the people with good mileage cars tend to haul a can of gas with them when they start on some of these routes.
