Geeze, then don't buy an EV!

It's simple, an EV car has a certain spec, if that spec doesn't meet your 
anticipated requirements then don't buy it. Just the same as any other car 
or bike or whatever.

Who said I had anything against HEV's? I don't.

I just like EV's better, I think they are cool. I'd prefer to have an 
electric only car.
They aren't for everyone, just like anything else, but that doesn't mean 
they are crap and shouldn't be available for those that want them.
