Leave it to the Koreans to bypass all the BS, as well as the electric car critics, and come up with this - the eZone electric car:
Of course, if the obstacle for you to go green is that you must be king of the road, running from suburbia to Walmart with five kids - it won't work.

That will happen in Europe any day now, with a starting price between $8,000 and $16,000, and CT&T has plans to introduce the eZone into Hawaii (one part of the United States where journeys are, by definition, short) in two years’ time, when a local factory is up and running.
Critics of electric cars frequently argue that their viability depends on government subsidies. Not so the eZone. CT&T’s use of simple, existing technology, as well as its country of origin—the South Korean government has shown a distinct lack of interest in handing out cash to electric-car drivers—means it is an exception which overthrows the rule.
