Give me an electric car that goes as far (or further) than my gasoline
car, with a charging time that is equal, at a cost that is equal, and I
will definitely buy it.
I think hybrid is, given current technology, a superior
solution. My Prius got right around 50 MPG. With a 10.5 gallon
tank, that's 450 miles before the "low fuel" light lights, and
comfortably 50 miles range beyond that. (I got the "Low Fuel"
light a few miles from home in San Jose, drove back to work in
South San Francisco the next day, and drove to Costco next to
the San Francisco Airport at lunch to refuel. Slightly over
10 gallons to fill, so I still had a comfortable margin.)
I drove it for 13 years, no trouble with the battery, sold it
to a friend's son who was going off to college, and it's still
going strong. I tend to drive cars until they drive no more.
I'm contemplating a plug-in hybrid next time I have to buy a
car. Not nearly the electric range of a full electric, but
plenty for a retired person's trips to the store and whatnot.
And a normal gas car's range on gas for long trips.
