This is a zero emissions vehicle and does not support the big business of oil production or the war for oil.

Ok, it's a neat idea, but it IS NOT a Zero emissions vehicle if you want to get technical. What produces the electricity to recharge that vechicle? Fossil fuels! Am I right?

Yes and No, the power you are using could be Nuclear which has signifficanly lower emissions than a coal burning plant. Even better, you could be using hydroelectric or electric generated from a wind farm using windmills.

Bad part is, 50 miles tops if you drive very conservatively and a 2 hour recharge time for only 55miles

While yes it does emit no emissions other than the possible gas given off by the battery while charging, it's not very economical

On the same token, I highly doubt the Model T was anywhere near 'econmonical' in its day. And look at how econmonical the Neon and other sub-compacts are these days.

True but typically people don't like to take a step back in time for mileage or miles traveled. Plus I'm not sure, would the Model T cost more or less in the long run compared to a horse and buggy where you would need to feed and maintain a horse or two? You're either paying for a buggy and two horses and then have to feed the horse, or you're paying for a Model T and the fuel to power it

Thats a good question
