I have to concur with this article. I was musing about what kind of electric car I would want if I had tons and tons of money. It wasn't a Tesla S, sadly. As much as I love Teslas and think they're amazing and awesome cars, they also say "I have money" quite loudly. No, I want similar range and performance, except in a sleeper car. There's 2 alternatives: the Leaf and the Chevy Volt, from my research. The Leaf is a very ugly car, to me, for a young man (though I do know people who pull it off perfectly). The Volt is almost there, except that its range on battery is about 40 miles (afterward it switches to gas, which defeats my idea). I want a car that can go 140+ (preferably 300+) on a single charge (or have super-fast, and still infrequent, charges) that I can charge at night, and has the prestige of anything less than or equal to a BMW. There is a particular beauty, to me, in the idea of plugging in my vehicle at night and, the next day, having a new 300ish mile range to be able to use. It's has a beautiful feel to it. The inconvenience of getting gas, gone forever, and replaced by a considerable reduction in price. I love it. The day that comes, be it in a Tesla family sedan or in a Leaf or BMW electric car or whatever other company ends up making the >= 50k, I will seriously consider and even actively decide that I no longer need a gasoline powered car as my everyday commuter and city and nearby attraction car.
