The thing is, I don't drive that much anyways, so the cost of the new electric vehicle is working against keeping my current one and getting gas once a month.]]>Jul 9th 2008 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/

that was a horrible ending to such a promising story. if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" it's a documentary about electric cars, their potential and their death. good stuff.]]>Jul 9th 2008 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/

If it's leasing then it's not much better than the Honda Clarity deal, but I guess it's better than nothing since unlike in the 90s they are doing this voluntarily.]]>Jul 9th 2008 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/"Sure baby, it'll be just the think to stick under the wheel of our hummer to keep it from rolling down into the bay".]]>Jul 9th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 10th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/Jul 9th 2008 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-to-go-on-sale-in-california/
What we should have is a better mode of public transportation. Having GPS on busses or trains, or accessing the web, waiting on bus stops would not be a hassle. Just my 2 cents.
