But I think its a great idea. It's not a car for most of the people on the board, but I think there's a lot of people who are genuinely concerned about the environment (not just tree-huggers and hippies) who would happily pay more for a car that pollutes less. Plus, with govt's subsidies, I'd imagine the car wouldn't cost very much more than a gasoline version after all the cost-savings from the gas.
