[DeTomaso] Electric Track car

I would buy an all electric sports car if they solved the battery problem.
It needs at least a 100 mile range, and it needs to last 3-5 years without
degradation.
It doesn't even need to be a sports car. It just needs to have decent
acceleration, and it needs to have reserve for rain, wind, traffic,
passing, etc., plus it needs A/C.
It should not have sound enhancing. If I want thundering exhaust, an
electric is a poor substitute.
I prefer electric golf carts over gas, but some courses require gas carts.
Sometimes, quiet is good.
I don't see internal combustion going away anytime soon. Electric may get
better, but it has a long way to go before it can do everything IC can do.
