why cant they just make an all electric car?? These hybrids are worthless. I do like the look of this one, but common… enough with hybrids! I want something that I dont have to put gas in at all!

Also, they are the future because they are cheaper. Being “green” is not it. They also have more potencial for preformance than even gas. The limiting factor is battery power. We need a way to charge a car in under 30 min, and not destroy the life of the battery. Also, there actually IS an all electric Sport car; it is call the Tesla, 3.7 sec 0-60 with a 200 mile range when driving calm. Tesla is now profitable, so there IS some demand. It is a very fun car, but it is only fun, not practical.

The problem with an ALL electric car is reality. How are you going to drive 700 miles in your all electric car? Stop every 300 miles for a day? You forget to charge your car and need to go to work in the morning, what do you do? Hybrids let us get the good from both. Since the car runs off an electric motor charged by gas it will be easy to replace that power souce with something better in the futer, like hydrogen, with out a major change that has to happen all at once. Hybrids are the future

You know, the same statement was also said about early gasoline cars. Time and technology was the answer to that.

lol I never drive 300 miles in any given day. The most I ever drive is 15 miles. The EV1 could drive 90 miles between charges and that was with the old style lead acid type batteries. That car was built in the 1990s and since our battery technology has advanced considerably. The reason why we have hybrid cars is because the US is basically owned and ran by the oil business.

true, Americans …
true, Americans take road trips, but not so often these days. with the price of gas, most people r more concerned about affording the trip to work and back. I dont think the change to an electric would be to great for Americans to accept. After all, many people accepted the Prias even if it is a new technology and part electric (not to mention ugly as hell). I think most r more concerned about gas prices to really care about what they drive as long as it is cheap to operate.
