There are no safety issues with electric cars, anyone who says that are part of the oil tycoons slur on alternative cars. It makes me sick when the oil tycoons of this world, put spins on things to get you to think they are the best option. FACT gasoline cars will at some point be obsolete and the sooner these rich thugs realize they are NOT going to rip off the general public anymore, the better!!! Electric cars have been around for years and many governments have been investing in these alternative vehicles, to replace the pollutant we call a car!!! Most new electric cars are as fast as gasoline cars and they can hold their own. They will be the automobiles of the future and I look forward to all that fresh air we will be able to breathe. LOL
