If you guys would just take the time and go to the Tesla website, you can see for yourselves. Tesla's are not your old run of the mill electric car. They can do 140mph and go 240-260 miles on a charge at 78 mph. They can recharge 90% in 30 minutes and 100% in 70 minutes. Of course they cost $70-100k dollars. But no gasoline at all. Now, you probably can't do that in Alaska due to distance, extreme cold etc. However, the technology is getting there. Tesla batteries are now being sold as a backup system to homes due to their power. Yes, they are expensive. Cars were expensive 115 years ago and only the rich could afford them. Things and times change. In 20 years hybrids will take over, followed in 20 or so more years all-electric vehicles. If the world lasts that long. Battery costs will come down, life of batteries will go up.
