Because you can make electricity from just about anything (coal, oil, natural gas, wind, tides, dams, nuclear, fuel cell, solar........) electric cars make sense if we are going to be energy independent. Batteries have gotten much better, but still need some work. Hybrids seem to offer better versatility, and longer range. I see three classes emerging: all electric city cars, plug-in hybrids with 100 mile battery range before the motor needs to kick in, and Prius like with the battery power supplemental to the gas motor.
From a performance car perspective, wow. Put high torque electric motors at each wheel and away you go. Independent four wheel drive! The only thing missing will be the G's wonderful varoom.
