They would if they had essentially 3 things; -Longer range between charges -Equivalent price to gas powered cars -Batteries that were cheaper to replace and to dispose of. But when it comes to sports cars, half the allure is the engine sound. that would be a difficult thing to overcome.

    -Isn't the range about 300 miles? -The Toyota Prius has 4 different models all range from between $19k to as high as 32K I think the range is fine. -I thought Lithium batteries would much better to dispose of? I can't argue with engine sound though, that's a big one for me, its why I want a subaru!

  • [quote]-Isn't the range about 300 miles?[/quote] I should have prefaced; In normal sized vehicles. [quote]-The Toyota Prius has 4 different models all range from between $19k to as high as 32K I think the range is fine.[/quote] But they are just flat ugly. [quote]-I thought Lithium batteries would much better to dispose of?[/quote] I've never heard that, and they are more hazardous environmentally to create.

  • -ok I agree most cars get well above 400. My '97 van gets 300 miles to a tank. -See now you're getting to the point I'm making, you won't but because its ugly. -You should look up Lithium batteries. It's what Tesla uses for their cars. They're far better than Acid batteries.

  • For electrics thus far you have 2 options; -Generic, small, ugly, what were they thinking, Hey let's put wheels on a jelly bean -Over the top Ferrari-esque in design and price. If they aim for making a 'normal' car in electric, then they would have a better cross section of the populace to sell to.
