Default Re: Segway's P.U.M.A.

Dyflon, I hate to say it but the only "myths" involved in that article are the author's counter-arguments. Most of what the author cites are arguments based on technology that doesn't yet exist. Its a bunch of "shoulds" and "will" but there is little "does". The Volt is still at least a year away and still gets less that 40 miles per charge. It's nice that people think it will get up to 80, but thats a big "if". Even with 80 miles per charge, I still think an American car needs 100 miles per charge before it will be a true fuel replacement alternative

I'd love to see electric cars succeed. But that article did little to dispel electric car criticisms.
