Auto makers should not falter and reconsider their earlier decisions to invest in research for the electric cars now that the world oil prices had fallen off the peak of USD 147 per barrel. No one knows when the oil price would shoot up again. In order to control the oil price shooting up again due to various reasons like speculation, falling oil reserves, there should be concerted effort worldwide to bring to reality the electric car for the use of the masses.
electric cars have issues of their own. 8 hours per charge 300 miles or km i forgot per charge minimal performance on the other hand, a hybrid consisting of electrical AND hydrogen could be the answer..
