Lexus has recently launched the GS450h. A hybrid electric vehicle that delivers 339bhp, will shoot from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds and still achieve 25 city and 28 freeway mpg. Priced at $56,000, its a serious attempt at market. That cannot come with significant investment and a bet from Lexus. Also, a group in nothern California has launched the first ever all electric serious sports car. The Tesla Roadster electrifies from 0 to 60mph in 4 seconds! At $100,000 its is more of a statement to the world and a toy for the rich.
Will it work? Is the future already here? If not, what could cause things not to turn out this way ?
Answer
------------
Practical electric cars are arriving now. We can't wait for the big car companies to build them - they don't want to do it. But there are many small entrepreneurs doing it.
*
Why doesn't anybody know these cars exist? Because small companies don't have the ad budgets to get their message out. But if you buy one, and spread the word, more people will buy them - the EVs will get better and better - and the rest will take care of itself. Below are just a few of many exciting electric vehicles we will be seeing.

Here's one company making an EV that charges in only 10 minutes:

Don't believe the disinfo about electric cars polluting. Electric motors are several times more efficient than gas engines. Power plants burn fuel at much higher efficiency than your gas car does. And distributing electricity by wire is far, far more efficient than trucking fuel around the country.
*
The efficiency argument is easy to prove by looking at fuel prices. A typical electric car gets about 4 miles per kilowatt-hour. Using off-peak electricity prices, this translates into about a penny per mile in most places. What does gasoline cost? Closer to ten times that amount! The lower price of driving electric is mainly attributable to the higher energy efficiency of those vehicles.
*
All these efficiency improvements mean that the EV can travel further on less energy. That means much less pollution per mile, no matter what the power plants burn. Plus, a significant, and growing percentage of electricity is now made from non-polluting sources.

What car out there has the best mpg?

Dill
Gas prices are pissing me off and i want to get a new car in a few years.
Answer
Toyota Prius, non hybrid, other than the smart car would be something like the Honda Fit.
You can go all electric with the Nissan Leaf.
