15 grand for an all-electric pickup. The 3 wheel version is 13 grand + 1500 for an optional solar panel. You can even get it with a dump bed. There are Zap dealers springing up throughout the US. I saw a demo of one at an auto show last summer. They're no frills, but they're also no gas. I personally want the Zap Alias
I see Zaps around town on a regular basis. We've already got two places people can plug in while they're out and about--there is a charging station located downtown and another at the local hippie food co-op. I think they're pretty neat.

Personally, I think we ought to start by taking whatever small steps we can take. While it's fine and dandy to speculate about the technology we will have, we also ought to focus on what we can do in the meantime, like riding a bicycle, walking, or taking public transporation when feasible, and using the car only when necessary. I'd like to have an electric vehicle and a solar panel array at home to power it, but at the moment that's not economically feasible for me, so I do what I can with what I have. That means driving less.
