>> I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" AND "Who killed The Electric Car"
all in one night. Pretty f'n scary.

If you haven't already seen it, watch the Electric Car movie. This might
answer some of your questions! <<

Actually the electric car killed the electric car.  A vehicle that needed to
be plugged into a special 240V outlet all night to only go 40 miles the next
day was not really feasible.  I don't think there was a big plot there.  GM
is back at it again with the Volt concept.

batteries, 120V charging and a generator, this thing looks more feasible.

Lots of good reading here:
