While on the face of it, electric cars look like a great green option, if one considers the entire lifecyle of the electric car - starting from the way batteries are manufactured - the whole thing might not look so green after all, or at least not as green as it looked earlier. Any idea on how the lifecycle sustainability accounting / green accounting for electric cars compare to that for traditional cars?

Narsi wants to know Why did electric cars die out in the beginning? 6 months ago
I believe the electric cars first made an appearance almost 100 years back, but never caught on. Was it only because petrol/gasoline was available in abundance, or were there other performance related reasons that put them out of business?

I think you should probably watch the 2006 docu-film : Who killed the electric car? It explores precisely the same elements that are under discussion here. Who Killed the Electric Car? is a 2006 documentary film that explores the creation, limited commercialization, and subsequent destruction of the battery electric vehicle in the United States, specifically the General Motors EV1 of the mid 1990s. The film explores the roles of automobile manufacturers, the oil industry, the US government, the Californian government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, and consumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology. http://www.whokilledtheelectriccarmovie.com

@Divya I think that's a one-off case. Usually concept cars are made to see how the public receives them. Kind of a like a fashion show in which new designs are showcased to get some feedback.

Right now, it would cost around $18000 to replace a battery pack in the Nissan Leaf. But Nissan says that by the time current buyers will have to replace their battery packs in a few years(at least 5 or more), the cost will be down to hundreds of dollars.

Answer this question / Share a linkran across this article, I am creating my own hybrid, I am in the process of transplanting the "guts" of a wrecked 2006 Toyota Prius in to a 1992 Lexus es 300 Donner car (engine and drive train removed of course) I would like to add three more batteries in parallel to the existing battery to extend the mileage before the gas engine kicks in and starts the charging process, I have currently invest about $3,000 total for both cars and don't expect to pay spend much more other than my time.
