Who Killed the Electric Car?
We are trying to make lemonade from lemons this weekend - so yesterday's little luxury was catching a matinee of Who Killed the Electric Car? followed by a couple of butter-pecan ice cream cones. Mmmmm.
Who Killed the Electric Car? is clearly selling a point of view and my first impulse after seeing it was to search out some alternative perspectives on what happened. Still, it was interesting, entertaining, and timely. It got me thinking about plug-in hybrids. As city dwellers, Drake and I are perfect candidates for an electric vehicle. The only reason we don't own a hybrid is that we have a perfectly good (paid-for) 1994 SAAB with very low miles (less than 40K). I hope by the time we do need to replace the SAAB, a plug-in hybrid will be an option.

Go to teslamotors.com. The EV-1's problem was 100 mile range. Tesla understands marketing. It goes 250 miles per charge, charging requires 4 hours, and it has Corvette-like, albeit silent, acceleration. And looks good. I think we're going to start seeing them on the road.
Thanks for the link! This looks like a very interesting option. I signed up for their mailing list.
