Leopardo asked: Due to high prices of petroleum nowadays its great to use electric cars. It’s not only economical but environmental friendly. No noise pollution and no pollution of the air. But do you know when will the U.S. or any other countries who is making electric cars start selling these electric cars in the world market and how much will be the price compared to fuel run cars??

electric cars are far from being non polluting. They just move the pollution from the tail pipe to the coal fired plant in someone else backyard, which means the drivers of electric cars are rude to others. It’s like taking your trash and throwing it in your neighbors yard.
Electricity is not cheaper than petroleum fuels today, 6 months ago yes. In the future. electric cars will cost more to run than petroleum cars.
In response to Nata T, that’s such a common misconception it’s getting ridiculous. Look at California, where only 16.6% of the state’s electricity comes from Coal. Compare that to something like Ohio, where that figure is more like 60%. So it all depends on where you live.
Plus, with all the government regulations on renewable energy sources, those numbers will only fall because of increased construction of renewable sources of electricity (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, tide, wave, hydro, etc).
As for the original question… Grab a snickers, it’ll be a while. With the big three struggling to make a buck, vying for your tax money so that they can give their cars away at 0 profit and just produce more of the same crap that nobody wants, it definitely won’t come from the big three. Plus other interests are at stake that will slow any attempt at changing the automobile infrastructure. Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, etc.
