What gets me about going electric is that we don't have enough electric generation now to handle the increase in demand. So now we will have to build new power plants that will increase emissions. What we will lose in emissions from the electric cars, will be replaced from the new power plants.  It's a no win deal. With electric cars. No more driving across the country. It will take too long to recharge the batteries to make it reasonable. Cars will be limited to about 200 mile round trips.  They are trying to make it so that you HAVE to take public transportion. They are trying to get rid of the car all together. |
Well, you are right about the push for electric. I do think we are at least a decade away from electric being the prominent cars on the market. Honda and Toyota are both committed to electric yet they are also still developing new, exciting gas powered sports cars. If I were to buy an electric car, I would want to buy it from the company that still values sportiness and makes cars that please those that enjoy driving. I would not buy an electric car from a company that has nothing but electric SUVs made to please Moms driving car pools.
Come on Nissan....
