If they were more attractive?
I think a big factor in electric cars not selling is that they look super ugly.
Just look at the[url=http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/nissan-leaf_lo_630.jpg] Nissan Leaf! [/url]
Electric cars aren't too bad and they some pretty good benefits. I honestly wouldn't mind having an electric car if it actually decent.
And I'm sure people wouldn't mind having a [url=http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2009/10/tesla_roadster2.jpg] Tesla Roadster [/url] but then again not everyone has $80k to drop on a car. The expensiveness of the car pretty much cancels out the benefit of not paying for gas.
I mean is it so hard to make an attractive looking car, that's economical, and cheap?!
What do you think flood? Would you buy an electric car if it was more attractive? Discuss.

They're worse for the environment than fossil fuel cars because of the amount of electricity they use from power stations is more than cars that use petrol use petrol (or "gasoline" if you prefer or some run off diesel instead...) I propose that we invent a car that runs off water. Think about it, you put water in, the car battery will use electricity to electrolyse the water into hydrogen and oxygen, burn the hydrogen to produce power to fuel the car with the only by products being oxygen and water and the battery would recharge by the motion of the car and the only fuel is water!
