"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Now, obviously we still need oil to produce roads, and many of the components of the cars, so it's not like it'll be "without a drop of foreign oil", but it will make an impact nonetheless if adopted in significant enough numbers. And they can be oh so fun to drive!
Ten Years After They Killed the Electric Car...It's Back!
Four Men, One Prize
In 2006, as many as 5,000 modern electric cars were destroyed by the major car companies that built them. Today, less than 5 years later, the electric car is back... with a vengeance.
In Revenge of the Electric Car, director Chris Paine takes his film crew behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors to find the story of the global resurgence of electric cars. Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of car is America's future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever.
With almost every major car maker now jumping to produce new electric models, Revenge follows the race to be the first, the best, and to win the hearts and minds of the public around the world. It's not just the next generation of green cars that's on the line. It's the future of the automobile itself.

For years we heard from the global warming nuts that we needed to get away from the coal fired electricity plants as they were major carbon producers....now the nutjobs are embracing electric cars. Wow, that's like saying cancer is caused by smoking but we approve of smoking pot as a way to treat an ear ache. Fortunately, we would never be so dumb to approve pot smoking.

The subsidies are a big question. Right now in CA, the combined credit Federal and state is around $10K/car. However, it is subject to the whim of politics and can be extended or cancelled. Difficult decision for the manufacturers to decide whether to invest big $$ for the long term and sell a product that is uncertain. This is part of the reason they are hesitant to jump in. Is $10k/car a good investment by taxpayers?
And yes, the Volt sales have been poor I heard. I think GM was pushed into that by the Gov't and the car Czar! We'll see what happens in a few years.
