of course the first viable electric car since GM pulled their own model to make way for the hummer costs 109,000 $. Come back to me when its in my price range.
The more people talk about the fact that there is a mass-market electric car, creating industry buzz, and actually Looks Good, the more in-demand they'll become. Costs will come down to a reasonable level.
If it weren't so damned expensive in and of itself it would be much more useful and talked about in the middle class circles. As is, it's cheaper to keep paying for gas than to buy this car . . .
