I too agree with your last paragraph and other parts. I drive a Hybrid Prius and get 40 to 50 mpg, pending on where I am driving. I will keep my Prius for a long time.
I hope to see a car in the future that runs on Lithium and gets at least 350 + miles per charge and then can get a quick charge (10 to 20 minutes) to continue driving another 350 + miles per charge. Other wise, I will not purchase an all electric car that is good only around town for 13/25 miles of battery use. But that is just me and what I feel.
