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.

I like the look of the Tesla. If I had the cash, I would get one. Sadly, I don't have $120,000 just laying around. (I would get every option!)
