One article says the range will be 75 miles, and the other says 100 miles.

One article says the charge time at 220 volts is "as little as 5 hours", and the other says "6 to 8 hours".

Journalism is fun.

They will continue to become more affordable, but it will still be 5 to 10 years before the public at large, and closer to 20 for them to match the range and convenience of gas cars.

The best bet for most people in the near future is going to be plug in electric hybrids (and just plain hybrids). ]]>Aug 8th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/mitsubishis-i-miev-electric-car-to-be-tested-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/mitsubishis-i-miev-electric-car-to-be-tested-in-california/Aug 8th 2008 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/mitsubishis-i-miev-electric-car-to-be-tested-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/mitsubishis-i-miev-electric-car-to-be-tested-in-california/

Hell my dad had a 2 seater electric waaaay back when, that would go about 100 miles on a single charge.

People don't let the car companies fool you into thinking that this is some great innovation or some mind boggling technology leap. The only innovation is maybe battery capacity and they didn't even do that. I am not even going to start about the average MPG''s on today cars vs cars 15 years ago.

ok I need to get some more caffeine. :-)]]>Aug 8th 2008 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/mitsubishis-i-miev-electric-car-to-be-tested-in-california/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/mitsubishis-i-miev-electric-car-to-be-tested-in-california/
Of course they were touting NiMH batteries as Gods gift to the earth and saying Fuel Cells were just a hoax to remain dependent on Oil. So, that kind of killed their credibility.
