I built a 2009 Giant Suede GX back in 2010.I guess I'll jump in here and expose myself to all.
I started with an electric bike back in mid 2006 (Giant Suede-E the dealer did not like)
I like to look at it like buying an Xbox... Wait a few years for what you want to get cheaper, then buy it.I believe it will be at least 50 years, maybe a lot longer, maybe never, before electric vehicles catch on. To do so they will have to have the same price, range, speed, recharge time, and longevity as todays gas powered vehicles. That would take a HUGE leap in technology. Until then, they are worthless as anything but short distance commuter vehicles, and their ridiculous price makes them worthless for even that.
Don't tell Elon Musk that, he will run you over in his Tesla ;-}I believe it will be at least 50 years, maybe a lot longer, maybe never, before electric vehicles catch on.
Eh, only 217 years ago batteries were nothing more than wet paper and pennies stacked together and weren't even that reliable. Now we can fit a 12 volt battery that weighs a single pound in half the space and has several hundred amps available to use on just about anything...so, there was this article a couple of months ago about the widely accredited creator of the lithium-ion battery making a next gen lithium battery that stores 3x the power and can be charged in minutes using solid-state glass something-technical or whatnot. I mean the guy is 94 and not sure if what this is... but, if true, man that would really solve short term limitations of electric vehicles.
