I think with the technology, battery life improvement, incentives and rebates that they're going to become very attractive especially to the urban cave dwellers. I rode in one just a few weeks ago and it was nice. Got about 100 miles per charge and only had a five gallon tank. It was a 35K vehicle he got for about 18K after all was said and done.

Nice and smooth with plenty of power. Probably not very practical for country folk or traveling cross country but it was very nice
