Most places still make electricity with non eco-friendly resources. I think that vegetable oil powered cars are a much better option as far as using untapped resources.

Any idea how long it takes to recharge the battery? Filling up with petrol, although damaging to the environment, doesn’t cut too much into your travel time (like I assume recharging would). Unless it gives you the opportunity to spend the night in a place you wouldn’t normally have stopped at  <abbr><em>Dianne’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.getclosure.co.za/blog/2009/05/20/34-power-price-hike-have-your-say/" rel="nofollow">34% Power price hike?
