So I am very close to buying an electric car from Hybrid Technologies. They are a company in North Carolina who takes Toyota Yaris, Mini coopers, and other cars and retrofits them with lithium ion battery packs. A converted Yaris will cost me ~$38k, get 120 miles range, and lose its back seat. A lot to pay but I believe in voting with my wallet and I've been promising myself that I would buy an electric car (no hydrogen here please) if I could find one. Needless to say, I'm very excited. I'll have a whole page about it if/when it happens.

Speed: over 75 mph, acceleration: 0-60 mph in 12 seconds, range: 120+ miles, charge Time: 6 hours, battery cycle life: 2500+ full charges. It comes with a LCD Touch Screen showing miles remaining, power consumption, each cell's level of charge, battery temperature, drive time, distance traveled, and average speed.
