Fishin obviously suffers from the same sort of ignorance that plagues the rest of america about electric cars--they don't realize that electric cars have FANTASTIC acceleration compared to gas cars of the same class. The old GE electric car (forget the model #) could do 0-60 in 6 seconds because of the great amount of torque that electric engines produce. gas cars have better top speed of course, but who needs a car that can go 200 if they have one that can get to 100 in no time at all? If people only took time to learn about the reality of the situation, we'd have more converts instead of more ignorance.
Remember: condemnation without investigation is at the height of ignorance.
