Eco Car

When they become more affordable, would anyone buy an Electric Car like the Tesla Roadster?

The car is beautiful, gets 250 miles to the charge, and they can go 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.

Affordability is not as serious a problem as it might seem. In China, where Electric Vehicles are more popular, they are already very affordable. Look at these Chinese electric and hybrid vehicles, priced in US dollars, they start at only $6500:

Here in the USA, electric vehicles (like the Tesla) are being made for the wealthy simply because that's the best way for those small car companies to earn development money. Once EVs catch on, they can get very cheap.
*
But there are already some affordable electric vehicles here, made by small entrepreneurs by converting old gas cars to electric. These cars start as low as $5000, and do freeway speeds. Look at the links at the bottom of this page:

Also on that page, it shows how inexpensive it is to drive an electric car. The electricity cost is only about a penny per mile, in most places.
*
How can electricity cost only a penny per mile, when gasoline costs up to ten times that? Don't we wind up paying for fuel no matter how it gets to us? We do, but electric vehicles are many times more efficient than gas vehicles - so it's possible for an EV to travel further on the same amount of energy.
*
Electric Cars are also the only vehicles that fuel by wire - the electric grid that moves electricity around the country is 95% efficient. Compare that to the infrastructure that trucks gasoline around to thousands of gas stations. The cost of that infrastructure is built into the cost of fuel!
*
I'll leave off with a link to an interesting Chinese electric car, that will be imported to the US next year. It goes 200 miles per charge, does 80 mph, and costs $28,500. Here it is:

Tesla (Band) $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Tesla is an American hard rock band formed in Sacramento, California in 1984. They have sold 16 million albums in the United States as of 2008 The band formed in 1984 in Sacramento as City Kidd, and was renamed Tesla during the recording of their first album, 1986s Mechanical Resonance, on the advice of their manager that City Kidd was not a great name (in addition, there was already another band going by that name). The band derived their name, certain album and song titles, and some song content from events relating to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. The bands original lineup consisted of lead vocalist Jeff Keith, guitarists Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch, bassist Brian Wheat, and drummer Troy Luccketta.
