I bet some of those same people wore suspenders and wouldn't buy a belt.(Ops I almost forgot I have suspenders on my TUX). My next car could very well be a Hybrid (haven't done the math yet) but my biggest worry now is how can I convert my V12 XKE Jag into electric. If anyone knows of a YOUTUBE video showing how please share it.
To me, it looks like an apples to oranges comparison. A car offers many obvious advantages over riding a horse. But, I don't see any obvious advantages to an electric vehicle over a gasoline vehicle. At least, not at this point.
