Battery electric vehicle
Can we make it to featured article status by July 21st when Who Killed the Electric Car? opens? AnAccount2 23:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The biggest problem with this article as it stands is references. The References section is empty. Some refs are linked inline, which doesn't conform to general style guidelines and is less preferable because someone might want to just see the citation without actually going to another site. There are also a number of unreferenced statements (eg, most of the "history" section, the fans' and skeptics' arguments sections) and the "controversy" section badly needs sourcing.
 * This page is very long. At minimum I think the production cars and prototypes sections should be split off into their own list, and some of the sections could use merging. (On the other hand, the one-line "safety" section is also problematic).
 * This may not even be true anymore, but I don't see a mention anywhere of the argument that battery-powered vehicles are not an environmental improvement because they require so much electric power to charge. Is that not true of current models?
 * Not anymore; we passed that point in the early 1990s, with NiMH batteries and now, with cheap wind power and lithium batteries, the're potentially a really huge improvement. Thanks for your helpful comments! AnAccount2 19:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Interesting read nonetheless! Opabinia regalis 17:39, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The TOC and image below it conflict on my screen, pushing the "edit" links for the history and efficiency sections out into the text.
