best electric cars on the market image
Lane
I don't understand why if there's this big worry with electric cars about range anxiety, is why they all don't just use the 85kwh batteries used on tesla cars to achieve around 300 miles of range. It would give EV's the kick start they need. If one were to pay big bucks could they have those types of batteries installed into say a leaf or a rav4 ev to get better range? Thanks!
Answer
At the moment, only Tesla offers such large battery packs. Yes, other electric cars could do this, and also offer the 300-mile driving ranges Tesla does.
*
The other pure electric cars (Mitsubishi MiEV, Nissan Leaf, Toyota RAV4 EV) are focusing on a compromise between affordability and driving range. This is a marketing decision. Tesla's approach is no-compromise range and performance, and so they market to more upscale customers. Their extended range EVs sell for $60,000 to over $100,000, and feature very long driving ranges, super-fast charging and sportscar-like performance.
*
Mitsubishi's i-MiEV sells for around $21,000 after rebates, but has a driving range of less than 70 miles. Mitsubishi probably thinks this will appeal to more consumers, despite the much poorer driving range.
*
Time will fix this problem. Tesla shows us the technology exists today for long-range battery packs, and fast battery charging. Eventually, prices for these features will fall, as happens with nearly all new technology.

Who killed the electric car?
Venturer
It's been said that the electric car will not return to the market. Engineers have failed to develop a good running electric car capable of meeting today's driving standards. Also they have failed to properly sell the right amount of electric cars to get it goin'. Is there more to the death of the electric car than we think?
Answer
All those Nissan dealers will be upset when they hear about this since they all sell an all electric car called the Nissan Leaf. Also Ford is just introducing the Focus Electric this fall.
You are misinformed. The electric car, although not exactly taking the world by storm, is far from dead, in fact it's on the increase.
