-GM pulled off the market the EV1, Toyota pulled off the market the Rav-4 electric, and now Tesla says they are making a $100K car in the future. Yahoo doesnt seem to list any electric cars. Does any manufacturer make an affordable electric car?

Dr. Evil asked:


I’ve always wanted to buy a hybrid car. But now I want to compare let’s say the Toyota Prius to a full electric car. If I can find a good full electric car that’s at a good price, I’d get it. Does anyone know any cars or good websites that have sedan plug-in electric cars that cost pretty close to a gasoline car. I know that there is the Tesla Roadster and Chevy Volt, which are pretty cool. They’re pretty expensive though. Thanks.

It may seem silly but cant you put an additional fan where the radiator fan is on an electric car to use the cars forward movement to turn the fan which in turn will charge the cars battery? It makes sense to me. What do you think?

They seemed like they were really pushing and fighting to get some electric cars going in california back in 2001 or so. What happened? Did the federal govt stop it or something? why?
yeah I am sure they were not perfect back then, but imagine what advancements could have been made in 7 years of building more and more of them? Who killed this idea?
why was the electric car killed? by whom? why? details please.

What if pads where placed on some roads every few miles, that would send energy up into an electric car? They could work by sending AC electricity through the air Tesla style, like those wireless cellphone chargers.

The cars would carry little ID tags. So every time they took energy from a pad the company could collect a fee from the driver. And the driver could have an option to turn the system off if they didn’t need to be charged(electrically or monetarily).

What do you think?

Bob asked:


An electric car does not use gasoline. So how can those who drive hybrids and other electric vehicles be charged for using the road. do they get a free pass? Or will be all be tagged with GPS monitors and the government will know where we are and what we are doing 100% of the time?

I’m doing a school report and I’m comparing electric cars to gasoline powered cars to see if car dealers should sell electric cars.
