I wouldn't mind getting on the bandwagon if the range was about 200 miles and I could recharge it in 5 minutes and the charging facilities were at every gas station....other than that, I don't think so. Oh, and it would have to have some freaky noise generator to make it sound like a train, tank, jet plane, muscle car, etc.....
I don't think electrics will ever have the range or be as pervasive as current gas technology. I think that they're a fad until the fuel cell (hydrogen) vehicles come on line. What is interesting to me is that we're in an age where gas is becoming dear and all sorts of different alternatives are coming out of the woodwork.
As far as my Weed Eater string trimmer (gas powered) goes, I'm getting ready to chuck it and buy a battery powered unit. I'm tired of dicking around with carbs and the crappy fuel we have. Just rebuilt the POS and it still doesn't work.
Oh, I can move this to Open if you want. I think it's a good subject to have everyone in on it. Might even get a bit tesly...
