Reminds me of this episode on CSI. Some dude had a electric powered Porsche (classic) and beat this guy that was driving a hot-rod.
Thing is... the kid died from whiplash.

The guys proves we have the technology for this - auto manufacturers are too lazy to make it happen. Or if you want to put it frankly there is huge conspiracy between the oil companies and the auto builders to stop this from happening.
Think about it, Electric cars have less parts and the electric motor has less chance of failure than a gas-powered car. If the public was to go All-Electric, E-cars will run and last alot longer thus the rate of replacing another E-car will be very low as well as using no Oil and/or Gas.
The only downside to E-cars, is they can't go long-distances continuously - like say If I want to take off today from Florida to Texas in one day (Not possible in an E-Car) but for around town this makes an excellent daily car.
Electric cars are coming but we'll always need Gas-cars but if E-cars enter the market eventually gas prices would go back down because demand is less because gas is not the only source of fuel so say goodbye to monopoly of oil and gas.. (Hopefully)
