I'll be 54 years of age next month. In the third grade of elementary school(1965) for a project I did a design report where in theory I built a battery powered car with a small 1hp Briggs engine to operate the alternator to recharge the batteries once the batteries could no longer power the vehicle.
Today that idea, or something very similar is called a Hybrid. Hmmm, guess I missed my calling. My problem as a young man was I liked to get high and chase blonde's on motorcycles.
Oh well, such is life.
To answer your question, I would not be opposed to an electric car or motorcycle. If fact I like the idea because I'm tired of giving my money to people who want to kill me and the freedoms I cherish.
Two issues I see.One will there be in my lifetime an electric vehicle that will carry me 700-800 miles between charges?
Two. If that vehicle is built in my lifetime will the power companies " that will eventually be controlled by Exxon etc"
raise the cost of a kilowatt to match $5.00 gallon gasoline.
I suppose I would be willing to pay those type of charges if I no longer had to give my money to the middle east.
