(and it has volks! hahaha)

AC Propulsion has delivered the first eBox customer car to Tom Hanks. The actor and producer, a veteran EV driver, ordered his eBox after driving the first prototype last July. "I still have a Toyota RAV4 EV and never spent a penny on gasoline for it", said Hanks, "What AC Propulsion is doing is fantastic. I drove their tzero electric sports car a few years ago, so when they put the same technology in a four-door I wanted one for myself. It has double the range, goes fast, uses Li Ion batteries, and is incredibly roomy and comfortable. Oh, and I will also never have to put any gasoline into it!"

i'd rather spend 15 on a regular one and buy gas, that would be cheaper i think

Yes it would, but such a purchase isn't about saving money. It's about looking environmentally correct.

IIRC, if all cars in the US went electric, the net gain is like about 20%, since so much of the infrastructure still relies on gas and coal. Push CAFE standards up 20%, and we're all better off ...

man, electric cars really have no point. What were they they [and I] thinking? an electric sports car? sports cars are supposed to be loud and raw! not silent and eco-friendly.
