>"But it's slow; but you can't go far with it"

I ride an electric moped, which has the exact affliction as described - but here in Vienna, this is of no consequence. I am constantly catching up with the fast overpowered auto's on the road, sitting at the lights, and maneuver in front of them regardless of how fast they overtook me at the previous stop. Its really a rabbit/tortoise situation - and in the end, I get to the same destinations in the same time frame, albeit with a drastically reduced carbon footprint, since I charge my batteries from solar ...

I think once people get a taste of electric transportation, especially mopeds/bikes, it becomes very clear: the future is electric.

Personally, I'll take slow electric over internal combustion any day. Its a huge improvement in life quality.
