The NYT Is Right. Where Is Our Affordable Electric Car?

Why Can't It Be A Sedan?

An article in Sunday's New York Time's tells about how there is no affordable all electric sedan that looks like a gas powered sedan. Yes, there are NEVs, or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles, that go under 25 m.p.h, but if you're a regular guy who wants a nice all electric sedan that is highway capable for under $30,000 its impossible to find one. Autobloggreen has this quote from the article:

"Strip away the promises and the offerings are virtually nonexistent. Not a single purely electric vehicle with four seats and the ability to reach highway speeds is being mass-produced anywhere in the world. ... There is still not a single E.V. or plug-in hybrid available that can approach the driving range, interior room and performance of a typical gas-powered family sedan, at anywhere near the price that an average consumer would pay."
