The internal combustion engine is doomed. Electric is the only way forward. I think it's a fantastic idea.

When they come down in price (and they will) then absolutely I would buy one. Most of my travel is to the nearest town, about 10 miles away. I am also considering a solar installation. Being immune to gas price hikes has great appeal to me.
