We have all seen the foresight of the future through the imagination of writers and scientists. Some of these predictions have come to fruition; some close to it, and others are still waiting for inception through the right technology. The electric car is one of these latest inventions that is still waiting for perfection.

Without a doubt, the gas-powered car is dominating the electric car in today-s free market. Some gas-powered automobiles offer good mileage per gallon. Electric car-s offer good mileage as well, but what they lack against a gas-powered car is size. Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) are still outselling most vehicles, including electric cars. Another thing that concerns consumers is reliability. They wonder if an electric car can be relied on as much as a gas-powered car. Plus, some reports on electric cars have them catching on fire. This is not good for the electric car market.

It does not matter why people choose to buy an electric car”save money, help environment”if the electric car is to survive in a gas-powered world, it needs to show itself to the consumer that it is just as reliable, affordable, and durable as any gas-powered automobile; otherwise its future is doomed.
