Electric Car? How about a Compressed Air Car?
"Orval Fairbairn" wrote in message news 
You can't store enough compressed air to make it practical -- perhaps they use a very long air hose? No... it has an optional gas-powered kicker motor that also recompresses the carbon-fiber air tanks. Just caught something about it on television the other day. Plus, it's loud as hell; sounds like somebody's driving an air compressor. -c
