What happens when the batteries stop holding a charge 2-3 years down the road like my iPod or laptop? Then the range will drop to the length of your driveway (if you're lucky).
Also, all electric vehicles are far from green, most of the electricity in the US is generated by burning coal so if a lot of these cars get sold and are sucking on the power grid (which will be subject to frequent brownouts, but that's another story) expect coal mining and burning to go up. So though you might feel that you're helping the environment, good luck believing that when you have to wear a respirator to go outside.

Don't look at these cars as green. Simply think of them as a way to reduce our oil dependency. We can then think about how to clean up our power plants by changing the way they make energy.
