Interesting article. If they really want to make electric cars into something worthwhile, they need to race them. Racing improves the breed as they say.

Regardless, these are still powered by fossil fuels (mostly). It just changes from gasoline to natural gas or coal. Not enough nuclear in the USA to make a difference. So you move the problem the pollution problem to a point problem, generation facilities, and away from the tail pipe. Still a problem.

What no one can tell me is if the impact on the environment of these cars is actually less than gasoline powered cars. Taking everything into consideration like; waste disposal of all those batteries, energy loss on powerlines, and other similar issues. In short, I don't know if electric really is better for the environment and no one has made a good case to me as of yet.
