I don't drive. I stopped a long time ago - right after it stopped being fun.There is no fucking way I'd ever spend $60K on a car that can only go 300 miles (best case).

In Toronto it doesn't matter how far a car can go on a charge, it matters more how long it can idle in traffic. If it can't idle for four to six hours, its useless.

Besides, electric cars are the biggest joke of the last century. My pretty battery-powered car is so green! But the coal-fueled and nuclear powerplants that it relies on aren't.
