I see the hybrid idea but what about having your own personal solar panal that you plugged the car into? (just a idea)
Answer
------------------
The electric car never went away. But the best battery technology for electric cars, called NIMH, was purchased by some big oil companies, who are refusing to license NIMH batteries for electric cars. This stopped the electric vehicle movement for several years.

Now, however, a new battery technology for electric cars has emerged, the lithium-ion battery. And many new electric cars are in development. We may even start to see some of these cars in the next year or two. A sampling:
*
From China: The Happy Messenger - only costs $10000, goes 150 miles per charge:

Also from China: the BYD car, designed to be affordable, with a 250-mile range:

The GEO EV, from Korea. It goes 155 miles on a three hour charge:

Also from Korea. The ENERGINE Electric-Pneumatic hybrid.
It runs on air and electricity. No gasoline:

From Japan. The Subaru R1E. Charges to 90% in 5 minutes, costs under $18000:

Also from Japan. The Mitsubishi Colt EV. It can charge in 20 minutes, and is priced under $20k.

A chinese EV slated for import to the USA next year. It gets 200 miles/charge, and costs $28,500.

The Tesla sports car:

And if you don't want to wait - and if you don't mind not having the very latest technology, there are many small entrepreneurs doing electric car conversions right now, that you can buy for as little as $5000. Details are on this page:

Don't believe what people are saying about batteries. Even the old tech batteries (lead-acid) are very affordable. The battery pack in my EV costs under $1000, and lasts for 20,000 to 30,000 miles. That's only four cents per mile. Electricity to charge the batteries only costs one cent per mile. That's way, way cheaper than gasoline.
*
Best of luck!
