When gas prices in the US reach $4 a gallon I think we will see riots in the streets. Ok, so maybe not riots, but judging by the furor of $3 a gallon - I’m not counting it out. So, gas vehicles are causing everyone headaches and people are lusting after alternatives. I can’t really fault them. But there have been some major hurdles to electric cars like driving distance per charge and recharge time. Well, Zap and Lotus have teamed up to give us what we want - and more!
