For electric(only) cars to work*, they need to be orders of magnitude more efficient (store energy from braking, downhill coasting, solar, and passenger farts) and will probably need some sort of charging grid in the roadway, like the inductive charging pads for a phone. Prius (hybrid) model (carry your own generator/charger) probably makes the most sense.
*ok for commuting, current 100 mile+/- range won't cut it for trips.
