Electric cars are to be here to stay, but how far can they go?
While conventional automobiles focus on MPG, the battery-powered crowd is all about miles per charge - call it MPC.
Here's a look at the latest plug-in rides and how far they'll get you between outlets.

one thing they leave out is battery longevity. everyone has bought a cell phone that seems decent with charges. however, after 3 months, your phone just doesnt hold a charge like it used to. after a year, you need a new battery. rechargeable batteries are very 'fragile' in this sense.
Tesla Motors has an electric car with an estimated range of 300 miles... 85 kWh battery...$100K +
Electric cars are worthless at this time we do not have the proper technology yet.
Once there are 3rd generation lithium transpo batteries out there and Large flexible solar sheets to charge with they will be a much better option for long distance. Also in the works is photovoltaic paint so if it's sunny out your ride could charge it self. Don't wait for the big corps to bring this tech to market, it's all gonna be small conversion shops and homemade for quite some time but if you want a cheaper ride, have some mechanical know how and time, you can make it.

Respectfully, you just don't understand physics.
Until batteries can hold the same amount of energy pound for pound and cubic foot per cubic foot as gasoline they are not viable.
P.S. Currently the desparity between the two is enormous
