Electric cars right now are in their infancy and generally catch hell because of the fossil fuels, etc. being burned to create the power used to charge them. If that power came from water, wind, nuclear, etc., the down side would be far less significant.
Are they for everyone, no, but when battery tech and cheaper, cleaner electricity can be developed, the technology could be very useful on bases, at factories, in city environments, etc.
If not, what would you suggest we do after the oil runs out, because it will. The number of people and vehicles increases all the time. We need to at least begin thinking about it now, don't you think?
