I'd drive an electric car, but won't till prices make sense, and I'm happier with range, and with safety of recycling aspects.

Would love to see the govt give rebates/inducements for hybrd cars just like they do full electric. I think it would help people make the first step in the right direction, trying a car 1/2 electric, and 1/2 gas before at some point going the next step to all electric. Funny thing now is increasing electric car demands is driving up buy cost, which in turn is keep the reluctant from making the jump. Hard to make the change when the change aint around to support it, and harder to take the challenge of a new type car when the cost is such a consideration.
If I had 65K I would buy a new car. I read Flipboard on my Android Smartphone almost every day. I have read a lot of stories that talk about the future or research that is ongoing. Some stories have spoke about new electric batteries and materials that can replace Lithium. And other stories talked about different materials being used for new batteries. Of, course none of these are in mass production yet. If they ever do make a battery that will last for a long time and recharge quickly and get longer range I think that new electric cars will sell more. But they still need to bring the prices down. We need a new Ford Model T for the masses. And yes it might help to have subsidies or tax breaks for those that buy new cars.
