300 ÷ 120 = 2.5

So now you are claiming that there is a pure electric car in
production that gets 300 miles to a charge?

Where is it?

Oh, I think you may find it about 8 posts
back above this one, where I told you the first
time. However, they frequently exceed that
distance.

The Tesla Roadster only claims 245 miles/charge.
The Tesla Model S claims 300 miles/charge, but Tesla says it wont be
available till 2012.

Oh yeah - the Tesla Roadster has a list price of $109,000.
The Tesla Model S is listed at $56,500.
There is a $7500 tax incentive that drops those prices a little.

You can buy a pretty nice plane for $109k.

At this juncture we're discussing whether the technology
exists, and if it's going mainstream.

In 1969 I paid $75.00 for a calculator. It had 7 functions...

No, where are discussing whether or not the technology is on the market
with a side discussion of how affordable it is if it is on the market.

Complex chips were infant technology in 1969.

Batteries and electric motors are mature technologies.

All the improvements in both in the last few decades have been in the area
of expensive materials engineering, i.e. rare earth elements.
