The problem isn't back and forth to work, it is all the other stuff we do, and that doesn't take into account that Americans are commuting further and further every year in the quest for a better income or to live further from the cities.
Electric cars are not a practical solution. The idea is nice and I am sure a lot of tree huggers are jumping up and down in excitement over the latest electric flop to market, but it still won't be an idea the common man can afford to live with, regardless of his enviromental principals.

Absolutely not! That's why I won't buy one. If I wasn't for the steep price and the fact that I would need a backup car I would do it.
If they were cheaper and I had enough money to afford another car for longer trips then I'd go for it.
