So this is a bit automotive, a bit financial, and a bit tech.

I was wondering when do you think there will be decent sized selection of electric cars available in the US?

Will the switchover kill car dealerships (think of the #'s of people returning their leased vehicles, and not having a good sized customer base who would want it...at least not at the current resale values)?

If one was to get a new car in early '09 how long would you lease it for? Would you buy it instead?

After thinking about all this myself, I stumbled on this article...and it seems like its a viable start on pure electric cars.

Renault seems to be the key automaker involved...what are your thoughts on investments with that company?
