If they make my car into an electric car, and it runs just as well, I may consider getting one.

If they made an electric Mustang, they *could* theoretically make it run like shit through a goose, at least acceleration wise, but it's range would likely suck. Tongue

Or were you talking about a different car?

Nope.  My 'stang!

But, in all seriousness, while I don't have an electric car, I would get one if it ran well and the price was right.

Lots of vids on YouTube.
One guy who bought a Tesla, documented all his costs in a spreadsheet.

He used the average cost of fuel for a typical sized car to work out his savings.
He charged his car at home (using the grid).

Over the year, he saved on average $7 per week.

Unless you can charge your car using free solar or a power wall, you're just shifting the pollution.

As far as pollution shifting goes, our electric generation here is substantially not from burning fossil fuel. Also the vehicle I am replacing gets about ten miles to the gallon. Gasoline prices here are amongst the nation's highest, and our electrical costs are the lowest.

There certainly is a shift here, but it's one from burning petroleum to hydroelectric.

On a serious note, Musk has said that in 20 years the most common car sold will be fully autonomous with no steering wheel.

Thank God because I fucking hate driving. I get serious stress and anxiety every time I'm behind the wheel. And I drive through Manhattan once a week so you can imagine how I'm like then!
