So I take it that no one knows what batteries cost? You can still buy an electric car; there's that funky two-seater tandem one that has been posted about a few times. The Tango I think it's called? Except it's $108,000 and the manufacturer says about a 60 to 80 mile range. Wow. Sign me up! I'm sure I have a hundred grand of loose change in my couch even!
