Problem with electric vehicles is that they are quite frankly shit. They have next to no range. They take an eternity to charge up. They create problems for handling because the batteries are so heavy it messes with the centre of gravity. The batteries are anything but environmentally friendly and replacing the current stock of vehicles is just as stupid as the scrappage scheme. You can crush as many cars as you want but where are you going to put the wreckage. It does nothing but pollute the environment and worsen the metal shortage. Hybrids are an even more fucktarded idea. Toyota Prius as an example, lugging around 2 drivetrains. I get better mileage in a 1.4l VW golf 3. The only viable technology in my opinion is recycled biodiesel and supercharged+turbocharged engines.
