Electric and hybrid cars are actually incredible bad for the enviroment. Fuel economy isn't everything when talking about enviromental impact. The place the battery for the Prius is made is so bad for the enviroment, NASA tests it's Mars rovers there because the terrain is all dead. If you want enviromentally friendly cars, get a Fiesta, Focus, Cruze, Dart, ect, something small and naturally aspirated, they cause less problems down the road. Plus, most use a CVT (continuosly variable transmission) transmission which is slow, loud, and not ideal. Unlike a conventional 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8-speed transmission, they don't shift gears; it has on continuos gear. Hybrid/electric technology is still being perfected so I wouldn't reccomend them to anyone.

Electric cars are overrated. They're simply not practical at this time...

People investing in things when they are not practical is the main way they become practical, right?

The nice thing about electric cars is that they don't pollute locally. If all cars were electric, I could ride my bicycle to work without having to inhale lung-fulls of exhaust.

They are the future. There's already a feasible way of making electric cars that out-perform gas cars, but given America's ties to the petro dollar, we may not see them until it is absolutely unavoidable, if even then.

They are the future, becuase right now they suck. The technology still needs to be perfected.

I'd say electric. Because, you know, the environment and all that.

"How much extension cord do you need?"

"Well... I'm going to L.A. Leaving the day after Independence Day Parade."

You just gotta love these things.

you dont need extension cords for going to a place that is far away

In those electric gas stations they have a battery replacement so you pay only a few bucks for it. Then exchange that after it is almost dead.

It was a joke.

Side: Gas

It will be a wonderful era when America does away with the gas pumps and decides to have electric cars.
