I don't care what kind of Gas powered car you drive now, but that "technology" you've got under the hood is over 100 years old.

Electric is Sexy because YOU want a Tesla.
It's not clean you still have to generate the electricity somewhere
Not really any more efficient than a modern diesel in real world driving
Quiet, yes. But wouldn't you rather be listening to the burble of a v8 compared to the hum of your tyres.
High tech and smart is the salesman massaging your ego to get you to part with 3x the price of a Lotus Elise.
