Would you pay $5 dollars a gallon at the pump of would you start looking at buying an electric vehicle?

Q. Nothing urgent about this answer, just a curiosity. I see drivers pull up to the pump in their big SUVs and wonder if they are happy with paying the amount they are paying, for the next few years, or even pay more. Or whether they would look into buying an electric SUV. As much as people complained about the range of the old electric vehicles, they still don't do more than 60 miles a day in their SUVs. Now, new electric vehicles can go 3-5 times that range without charging.


Answer
I already drive an electric vehicle. You should try it - there's nothing quite like driving past gas stations, and looking at all the chumps lined up there (nothing personal!)

Here's the latest electric car on the market:

*
The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altair Nanosafe batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:

-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)
*
The Phoenix is a real car, being built for fleet use right now. Here's another electric car for sale right now:

The Tesla electric sports car can out-accelerate a Ferrari (0 to 60 in under 4 seconds), does 130mph, and close to 250 miles per charge. If that's not enough performance for you, here's a concept EV slated for production:
*

*
How about up to 644 horsepower and a top speed of 155 mph? The ZAP car has a 350-mile range, using the same Altair batteries as the Phoenix.
*
No other alternative fuel has electric vehicles beat for efficiency. High efficiency means less fuel per mile. Less fuel means less pollution (no matter what gets burned at powerplants), and low fuel cost. My own EV drives around for about a penny per mile in electricity. Beat that!
