Answer
Electric cars are great. They're much friendlier for the environment than gas cars. Right now the best available is the ZAP Xebra:

But there are many really nice EVs set to come out soon.

Available in California in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost about $27,000 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy, and a range of over 600 miles total when in electric/gas hybrid mode, for around $30,000. On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon. The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency.

Why are all cars not electric even though the technology is readily available?

Answer
Electric cars are not the answer to the problem, it would cause even more problems. Where is the electricity going to come from? In some states the power companies can't even keep up with the demand now, so what happens when millions of car plug in to recharge? The government is trying to get rid of coal powered electricity, so what do we use. People in my state protest and are tiring to get rid of the nuke power Company. Also every time a wind mill farm tries to happen the out of starters that have cabins here say not in my back yard and put a stop to it. So you may say Solar, we have a few Solar farms the room they take up for the little power they put out is ridiculous. Besides they only work if there is sun light. To power this country we would have to use up all the farm land . We would end up with electricity but no food. Now how often is there power problems because of storms that last for days or even weeks? you have no power to recharge your car. Now that part of the country is totally crippled. No one can drive to work not even doctors, so some people will die, no one to work the cash register, no one can drive to work to fix the electric problem. So in my opinion you statement_ question is a pipe dream, and not well thought out with not a realistic hypothesis.
