MythBusters on Electric Vehicles

While I've always wanted an electric vehicle - imagine never filling up again! - the range has always been a limiting factor. I can't afford to spend the money on a vehicle that prevents me from leaving right from work to drive to Virginia if suddenly needed.

Mine interests are common, but mostly I hear people complain about the performance of electric vehicles.- that they are slow.

The discovery Channel show MythBusters and Jay Leno would like to address that point:

Tough Enough.

"...we don’t need a president who is tough enough to withstand the lies of his opponents. We need a president who is tough enough to tell the truth to the American people. Any one of the candidates can answer the Red Phone at 3 a.m. in the White House bedroom. I’m voting for the one who can talk straight to the American people on national TV — at 8 p.m. — from the White House East Room."
