‘What killed the Electric car’ was a great documentary…if you haven’t seen it you should.

The only problem I have with Electric cars is the batteries and how they are charged. See the batteries are made from caustic materials like Litium, Nickel, Cadmium, and LEAD - these are not good for the environment. Not only when they are disposed of, but also the mining of those materials.

There’s no point with having an electric car if the electricity it uses came from a poluting source like Coal or Oil? Also you loose more than 50% of the energy when you transmit the energy over transmission lines.

So unless the power you generate for an electric car is clean and the battery techonlogy is eco-friendly, I’ll reserve judgement on The Electric Car.

Have you guys heard of the Air Car? Only goes 35 mph (50 kph) though.
