The Rebirth of the Electric Car?

After watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" a few days ago I happened upon and listened to my favourite business journalist, Peter Day, discussing a new electric car initiative from startup firm, Tesla Motors. Conceived and financed in California's Silicon Valley, their first model is actually being built at a Lotus plant in Norfolk, England. It's a really great story and perhaps one hope of removing the stranglehold that oil has on our society these days.
