Nissan is ahead of everyone. This is an affordable vehicle with 100 mile range. It uses long lasting non toxic lithium batteries. When you change a car 80 cents of electric equals a gallon of fuel 30-40 miles. Even if it's the 50% coal the US uses for power generation it beats 65% imported oil from the middle east that makes tons of pollution. Solar panels should be on a home or fix mount not on a moving vehicle at a poor angle. There are other light efficient EVs's like the aptera up to the Tesla S family sedan. Plug in hybrids are also a great step. We even have lithium electric assist bicycles. I have an Rmartin that was only $800 and rides like any bicycle yet has electric if and when you need it. I've easily gone over 50 miles. We have to use the great technology the USA and world has invented. It's so easy to add solar to your home I did it in 2001. I now have a 05 plugin prius that goes over 30 miles all elctric at up to 52 mph. We never buy gas anymore except long long trips one a year.

Plugging in makes a huge difference, even with 50% coal like the US now has it's much cleaner (8x less CO2) and doesn't require 65% imported oil. Power plants also have giga watts of excess at night they dump. If you charge at night you add zero pollution. I have a lithium plug in supply kit in my 2005 prius and can go 30-40 miles all electric. I can also go 60 miles at over 100 mpg in hybrid mode. I also have a grid tied solar system that makes more than I used, until I could plug in. What a dream come true. Or you can import and pollute and pay for it in pollution and money spent. It's the 21st century. Don't get caught in yesterday Popular Science tells us fantastic technology every month, just use it !
