    too bad electric cars are only viable in small amounts, if the amount sold gets too large the pressure put on the power grid would be too much and casue a total failure. Its will? be the east coast black out all over again. Also the fact that most of the worlds energy comes from coal plants, doesnt make it a green alternative anyway. Plus battery disposal etc. Cool concept just not a viable alternative in the long run.

    “Won’t save you money!?” Bull crap. The leaf is $33,000 MSRP. With the? $7,500 tax credit, that becomes $25,500. That’s only slightly higher than a comparably sized VW Golf, Kia Soul, or Mazda 3 hatch. The gas could save you $1000-@2000 a year, so for most buyers, it would pay off very soon.
    And “Not ready for the average buyer?” How many people have a daily commute of more than 100 miles? Or even 65 miles in cold climate. I bet most of us don’t.

    Sounds one-sided for Consumer Reports.

    For me my commute is the ability to grasp and the range in which the battery allows on single charge this and pass along to its onboard generator is its.
    For me my commute is its only draw imo.

    i wonder why these manufacturers don’t make natural gas cars. I seen them in asia, south america. costs you under $6 to run around 150 miles. you can convert any existing car to natural gas at average $500. I don’t know why we should pay 5-6k? for hybrids.
