I am a physicist, and am very intrigued by EVs and hybrids. But I put 7K miles/year and few hundred $ in maintenance/yr driving to work in the 1998 Acura TL I bought on eBay for $8500 some 16 years ago, so spending $30-50K on a new EV or hybrid car is not attractive. And therein lies the challenge for lowering carbon usage. Maybe buying a used Prius "for cheap" and changing out the battery is the way to go.......
