One of my two life goals is to hijack a spaceship mid-flight. The other is to own and operate an all-electric car. Let's review some vehicles both in production and on the drawing board that just might fulfill that dream, all the while making as many electricity puns as possible, wholly discarding quality in favor of quantity. Meet me in the next paragraph to see what I mean.
No More Gas Personal Electric Vehicle
I really get a charge out of this banana-lookin' bastard. Developed by Myers Motors, this one-seater has a range of 25 to 30 miles, making it ideal for an urban environment. "Socket to me!" one might exclaim about this little sparkplug. Technically classified as a motorcycle by the US Department of TransportatiOn, the NMG plugs along at 75 mph, enabling normal highway travel where other three-wheeled EVs go static. Currently available in the United States of America, the NMG could be yours for a shockingly-low price of under three hundred Ben Franklins, more commonly referred to as $30,000. If the public adopts the magnetic styling of this vehicle, it may be the first to gain inductance into the Electric Vehicle Hall of Flame.
Lumeneo Smera
Check out this joule. I'd love the opportunity to drive this Faraday, and get a feel for how it holds the road. Looks like I just might be ready to grid of my Nissan! At a mere 35.5 inches wide, it fits two, and handles like a moped, requiring you to lean into turns. Ohm my God, how coulomb is that? The motors are in the wheels as opposed to the chassis and get you 93 miles on a singe-le charge. Of course, it looks more like something you'd see in a DC Comic than a regular guy like AC Slater driving it around! Generations of people might be electrocuted by this light person-conductor, though the manufacturer disputes that claim.
Reva
This car is built by Iondian manufacturer Reva Electric Car Company, so don't expect to walk up to the showroom window ampere in, because India is 8400 miles away or 16,800, if you plan on making a full circuit. At an irresistanceable price of $9,000 (or better if you have a connection that can get an employee discount). Eight hours of charge time, and you're in the ready state to drive up to fifty miles. Maybe one day we'll be sinusoidal wave-ing to our friends as we roll by in a Reva. It's a shame Ron Paul didn't have the funding Obama had, or else the country's desire possibly would have been to electRon. He loves Revas.
Subaru R1
Even Subaru has the potential and capacity to get in the electric vehicle game. Your biggest concern when driving the R1 should be getting struck by lightning, especially if you're holding a lightning rod out the wind-ow - the vertical glass surface you wind down the same way you'd wind some kind of electrical thing that requires winding, like a wind-up toy or something. The R1 also plugs along at about 65 mph, also known as the speed of light. It's a shame it can't get up to 88 mph, which is the speed that, when driven next to the clocktower which was struck by lightning at 10:04 PM, generated 1.21 jigowatts of electricity, sending Marty's Delorean time machine from 1955 back to 1985. The R1 is produced in Japan.

i'm really Amped on your post. can't wait to see Watt happens with these cars, and if they will be Celling a lot of them. perhaps there will be a reVolt against the large gas-guzzlers, Btu who knows. a well-Grounded study of Current trends may be needed.
