I admit, I'm one of the skeptics here where if an electric vehicle is to be viable, it needs to have a good range, maybe 300 miles at the low end, perhaps 700 miles at the high end and can be recharged in 5 minutes, well, fairly quickly although you'd probably need huge wires to handle the amperage needed for that. IMHO, for an electrical car to succeed, hybrid is the way to go. I think a good idea is to use a minature gas turbine engine as a generator for a hybrid and I think the University of Utah did such a conversions with an EV-1, making it a hybrid. Still, it is a shame the EV-1's were destroyed, same with the gas turbine cars.
