Well, there is one other issue. If you start to take the issue of electric cars seriously, you have to deal with the issue of battery disposal. So far I have yet to see this issue addressed with any level of seriousness. As it stands we already have a problem with the chemicals from batteries at land fill sites. And this is just from our current battery usage! Imagine if we had 5 million electric cars on the road! What would be the long-term impact on the ground water supply? Would somebody please tell me why electric cars are a good idea?
