Are you considering buying an electric/hybrid car in the near future?

No. They are overpriced and not cost-effective, even given current oil prices. Hybrids are not really good - too complex and ok if buying new but a total nightmare for used car buyers. Electrics are too new - the battery packs are a big issue - how long are they going to last ? The lithium batteries can only do a limited number of charge cycles and then they have to be renewed. I am going to keep buying small, economical, conventional cars for the next 5 or six years and let other people be the guinea pigs on this one.
