<VV> $11, 291 Electric 1966 Corvair "complete" AC Conversion Kit (batteries not included)

Well, true, to a point. But the Volt is an electric car with a built in Plan B when the batteries run down. Most hybrids as we've come to know them don't work this way.

Bob,
    If it burns gasoline to make the car go, then it's a HYBRID and not a real 
ELECTRIC car, like the Tesla.

Frank,
Take a look at the Chevy Volt.  You can drive hundreds of miles after the 
batteries die--the gas engine is a generator.

The biggest problem with electric cars is the TIME it takes to "fill up" the 
batteries.  When I go on a trip in a conventional car, after a couple of hundred 
miles I can stop and "refuel" the gas tank in 10 minutes.  In an all electric 
car, it takes HOURS to "refuel" the batteries even assuming you can find a place 
that can do it.  So they may have their place driving short distances to and 
from work every day, especially in heavy traffic and "refueling" OVERNIGHT in 
your garage, but you'll still need a conventional-engine car to drive on a trip 
out of state to a car show or a convention or simply to visit relatives..

And you would need a more more door to hold all the batteries. "Tesla...take me 
away..."

</div>WOW! Looks like quite an expensive ordeal! Besides the original kit the
batteries add up to around $8,800.00. It also states battery management
controller not included and I do not see one listed. Then you need to
fabricate battery boxes.
Too much money for me!
