@hoffbug Word on the street is, you can use a smart-phone to access your car, and while plugged in the AC outlet, you can pre-heat your car. Vewry similar to the Volt, and Leaf.

@kingmike40 That's a good point,but at least you can have your own solar panels for fuel.

I find it curious that so many people are against electric cars. Where do they think the electricity that is used to refine petroleum into gasoline comes from? It takes 7.5kwh of electricity to refine one gallon of gasoline. That same 7.5kwh will power an electric car 30 miles. And I haven't even included the energy used to find, drill, extract and transport the petroleum to the refinery and then transport the gasoline to the end distributor.
