"Now, you get all the comforts, convenience and utility we’ve come to expect with our vehicles, with the bonus of clean driving. You can be good to the earth, to our health, and not give up anything" Where do you think the clean electricity comes from, does coal, gas, nuke come to mind? Without coal, gas, oil, nuke power there would be no electricity (unless you use wind solar) to make it and how reliable is that? What about the compontents that make up the batteries, what will you do with them when their life is over? Clean I don't think so. "Convenience?" What are you going to do for 10 hours while it's recharging, can't listen to radio. Mr. Penticoff:
