I won't buy an electric car because they are not good for the environment. Oil is organic and has been used since man first burned it in their lamps. Maybe once they come out with a battery/storage that is made of something less hazardous than lithium, I will think about switching. Since the air is cleaner now than when I was a child, I am not overly concerned about the environment and I do not believe in man-made climate change. Although, man's application of science toward farming has eliminated the "dust bowl" effect, so I guess technically that is a positive effect of man-caused climate change, sort of. Personally, I enjoy the benefit of fossil fuel powered vehicles, especially the sound of a powerful motorcycle revving and powering down the highway, as well as old muscle cars.
