Not until they go faster and don't need recharging every 2 hours.
There was a superb electric 'concept' car at the Detroit Motor Show last year which had performance figures comparable to an M3.. Unfortunately it's range was <75miles before it needed plugging in again..Proud owner of +5 Xeno Geek PointsComment

There was an item on news night about the Chevy Volt a car with a range of 40 miles, they reckon it was revolutionary as the petrol engine only served to drive a generator to charge the batteries and didn't drive the wheels.
The Japs have been developing this sort of thing for over a decade, I suspect Chevrolet developed this piece of junk as they had to do something to keep the government happy since they've been bailed out big time.
http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Yes, when...
• They can do 100mph
• go 350 miles before recharging the batteries
• and it takes only 2 minutes to recharge the batteries
• and they don't look like they've been taken from Buck Rogers....
...actually, driving a Buck Rogers type car would be kinda cool....Gas masks don't fit snails...

For short city journeys they are fine (90% of my travel). Would still need a petrol car for long trips.Comment

Bottom line for me is: yes, I will buy one when they can compete with current cars in terms of looks, performance, price, cost of "fuel", time between "fill ups" and "fill up" time. The Chevy Volt is getting closer to this.
At the moment they cant but I am sure one day they will. I certainly wont be forced into buying one by the Government. Who wants to live in a country where the Government dictate that to you - maybe George Orwell had it right.......!!
BTW, anyone thought about how this electicity to charge them is being produced.........!!
