Does electric really mean better? I mean, most cars runs on petroleum, which is highly inefficient and is made of coal, gas, etc. But the cars run on battery, which consumes a lot of electricity, which comes from....coal. So does it really make a difference?

Just in time! The Gulf countries have just decided to raise the price of oil to $100 per barrel!!!

I think the secret behind getting the electric car to sell is to be able to get the car to go longer distances with a full tank.

Haha, there is no "tank". But i guess what you mean is..to be able to get the car to go longer distances with a single *charge*. Typically cars are charged overnight (just like your cellphone)
