One of the issues impacting the full electric cars is the limited range they had when first introduced... also the fact that the Big 3 bought many of the plans of the first elec. cars just to shelve them.
One of the main factors of not having full elec. cars in mass production is the limitation of range and power. Many do not want a car you need to plug-in every 100miles or so. This is the reason why Hybrids are created now. When the battery runs low, the gas engine kicks in full-time. It also led way to the 'regenerative braking' by using the brake friction to help charge the battery some.
What you will see in the future, is more vehicles coming out with renewable Diesel options and ethanol hybrids like GM is pumping out now with their FlexFuel SUV's.
The future of the automobile is renewable resources, not electric. Big Oil will make damn sure of that.
