   Apparently of less value than the diesel or gasoline (benzene in Europe)
that the electricity replaces.

   Handy persons have been hacking their old small cars into totally electric
cars for 50 years.  (at least)
   Using car (and golf cart) batteries has severely limited the range or
these cars.  (big golf carts made out of old ramblers and such)

   The Li-ion cells have brought new life to this project and I love them
in my digital camera, they are amazing.

   If you can't get back home for a recharge within 200 miles don't buy one
of these, or it's clones.  (until motels have charging meters in some
parking spaces)

   I think this is the future of automobiles and I always have.
