Nah, I'm fully aware of the benefits of instant torque from electric motors and the obvious increased efficiency gains, but the idea that they're environmentally friendly I find to be a bit naive: battery toxicity and the impact at the end of life disposal as well as the associated cost of battery replacement are stand outs for me. Again, this is expensive at the door in terms of what you'll be spending in maintenance costs and the at the door purchase price. It's exotic stuff, at least right now.
