Electric cars getting sporty.

Let's be honest, most electric cars look like shit. They look like some 4th grader drawing of "the future" and then a design team decided to implement it. They really do look extremely ugly. Maybe that problem will now be fixed with Tesla's Roadster.

The car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just under four seconds and tops out at 125 mph. It goes 225 miles on one charge and can be fully recharged in 3½ hours, which Tesla officials say should allow most people to drive it to work and back and recharge it at night like a cell phone.

Driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco, however, would require stopping in, say, Fresno and plugging its adapter cord into a motel room wall socket.

That's not bad, but I still wouldn't buy one. For one, the cars cost about $125,000. Secondly, I'm not a fan of electric nor of hybrid cars. Why? Because they use up a lot of batteries. These batteries carry a lot of toxic chemicals. You hear a lot about lowering emissions if everyone drove hybrids, but no one ever seems to mention the vast amount of toxic waste that will be generated from disposing the batteries. In my opinion, the best route is by far to go with biodiesel.
