I was wondering if the electric car was really dead. Can you purshase an electric vehicle (not a hybrid)?
I watched the documentary "how killed the eletric car?" and was just wondering about it, since the technology cleary exists; Is there a way to get an electric car anywhere in the world?

Answer
Sure you can buy them but they are either a) not all that good or b) pretty darn good and very expensive.

The documentary was rather lop-sided and didn't explain that electric cars still suffer from short battery life for everyday driving.

You can buy an electric car right now at www.zapworld.com, but you'll need maybe $75,000 for a "real car".

Wouldn't having an electric car send your electricity bill through the roof?

I guess I am not green enough to understand--the purpose of the electric car is to make the world a better place. Would getting a car that runs all on electricity cost you a lot for your electricity bill? I didn't know if it was something you had to plug in, like an electric golf cart. In the end, wouldn't you pay more for electricity then gas. Explain.

Answer
It would increase your electric bill, and it would decrease your gasoline bill by even more.

Electric cars cost 2-3 cents per mile to recharge. A 30 mpg gas car costs 10 cents per mile if gasoline is $3/gallon.

That's pretty easy math.
