If the electric car is ready for prime time let's see a photp of a guy over 6 ft tall in the driver's seat! I (at 6'7") would give up my SUV for something that I could fit into but I haven't found it yet.

When will someone build a real electric cars instead of a play toy? Just make one that will go at least 200 miles per charge and has some interior space (i.e. Honda Fit).

While I'm on the subject what is with current auto MPG. I use to drive a 62 VW bug that got 36 mpg on the road and 32 in the city. What has happened to all this modern tech like light weigh materials and improved engines I keep hearing about?
