Electric vehicles have often been hailed as the future. Major motoring companies are aiming to produce nothing but electric vehicles in the future, and some aspire to hit that target by the end of the decade.
Cars that are traditionally seen as so-called gas guzzlers like pickup trucks, muscle cars, and hummers all have electric equivalents. Governments, including the one running the United States, are improving infrastructure, offering tax incentives, and enacting policies aimed at getting more electric vehicles on the road.
Electric cars require more energy to produce than conventional cars because of the lithium-ion batteries, but even after taking battery manufacture into account, electric vehicles are still a greener option than petrol or diesel cars, because of the reduction in emissions over the lifetime of the car. So it is a matter of Size, Cost and Time.
