Sadly the tech for good electric cars is out and theres no reason why it couldnt be affordable. but... the car companys do not want to produce it. Ford had a car called the evo i think it was years ago that was full electric. they leased out a few hundred of them then when leases ran out they took them back and crushed them all and refused to let anyone renew the lease. even though everyone that had them loved them. Car companys make the most money selling us cars that burn gas and have complex and expensive moving parts in them. a simple electric car wouldnt have all that much to go wrong or wear out so they would lose a fortune by not selling us all those repair parts. It will take a miracle or a disaster for us to change to full electric.
Personaly i want to see a full size 4x4 truck thats electric with a small diesel engine thats used just to recharge the batteries on long trips. Toss on a few solar panals on it to keep the batteries topped off during short trips and it would be perfect.
