Just as I said the electric car is NOT ready for prime time, and probably won't be for decades.
Until then DIESEL powered engines are the best way to go.

I disagree. I'll admit only this: We have a stunning mismanagement of energy in this country. Think of home heating oil as example number one! It's a portable form of energy, being squandered in furnaces all over the country.
We have hundreds of years of fossil fuels in right in our backyard (as much as 600 years by some estimates), as long as we manage our use properly. My suggestion is a massive effort towards LIFTR (thorium) reactors populating the grid. Rather than use natural gas as electric fuel.
Back on topic:
I drove the Volt. I liked it very much. Interestingly enough, my Jaguar seemed "harsh" and "noisy" by comparison. My only issue with the Volt is the price!!
