Second-fastest sports car runs on batteries

CNet News reports on Second-fastest sports car runs on batteries how electric cars are far superior to traditional petrol/gas cars in performance and fuel efficiency - yet the problem/issue is still the cost - they are too expensive for the average car buyer:

'"You can't make cheap electric cars. You can now make good ones, but not cheap ones," he said. "While everyone wants efficiency, no one wants to pay for it. It's like selling safety...You've got to offer your customers more than energy efficiency."'

Yet how long will it be until the large commercial manufacturers take interest - after peak oil??
