zero emission from electric vehicle sure sounds interesting but i am still skeptical about this whole electric thing. the time to take to charge a vehicle could pose quite a barrier for users and with the influx (in future) of electric cars, used batteries management could be quite tricky. imagine rushing out to work and realized you forgot to charge up your vehicle… man, that would be a pretty awful situation, ain't it?
in anyway, personally i don't feel 'safe' with batteries-operated transport. our experience with small gadgets running on rechargeable batteries tell us the degradation of battery over time and the possibility of battery fails to hold charge et cetera are very real. until the day we could establish a sure way of preventing or reducing such possibilities, will i feel safe with an electric transport. thus, the best go-between would be hybrid for me.
