Let Me Firstly Say I Have Never Been A Fan Of Electric Cars

for just a few of the following reasons,

to provide the electricity we will need hugely unprofitable wind or solar farms to produce it, and of course coal, gas or nuclear power stations when there is no wind or sun, 

and how do people in large tenement blocks of say 100 or 200 families plug their cars in? how much does a new set of batteries for say a $30,000 electric car cost? 

and here is the one no one is talking about, how much does it cost to, in an environmentally friendly way, dispose of said batteries? whether you are a green leftie tree huger or a realist, I would think a little more transparency on these important questions are needed from the automotive trade, for a closer look at the early world of electric cars have a look here, I was amazed at the number of companies, well over 60 of them selling electric vehicles in the years 1895 to 1925, but I have to say it, until the above questions are answered give me a fire breathing, petrol guzzling, huge V8 please!
