I wish I could simply plug myself into the car and have it draw calories to power it. Would be an effective and easy way to lose weight...

You can probably sell that idea in today's society.

That reinds me of a bet I won at Cheeburger Cheeburger http://www.cheeburger.com/home2/index.asp. Nice home page, look at what it says under the burger . I only went there once, but it was when I was in shape .

I hope the electric technology moves forward and gain control once again.

Nah, that's manual labor, which I am allergic to. I prefer a direct calorie-t0-electricity conversion.

Yeah, the Zombie is a great little electric car, and I was going to mention that they are using A123's in it now but it shows it in this video. I would love to have that thing to cruise around town in.

My favorite fast EV is definitely the Wrightspeed X1, AC Propulsion drive, LiPo battery pack, and 0-60 in ~3 secs. Built on the Ariel Atom chassis.
