Sure, we have the Prius, but it's mostly a gimmick. They put that out there for the people who make an extra effort to save the environment.-superboyac
Don't you mean it's for people that want to make a show of pretending to save the environment?

I've never even heard of them before, but at 70+ miles per gallon according to wikipedia, and petrol being about 6 euro per gallon here, I'd be willing to make some sacrafices (are they really that slow to take off though lol)

Don't forget to calculate how much extra they charge you for the "Hybrid" technology into your "savings" plan.
Last I heard, the "Hybrid" model Prius costs something like $10,000 more than the non-hybrid model Prius. Do you think you'll save $10,000 in gasoline over the lifetime of the vehicle? Things like that make Stoic Joker right when he says people are just
pretending to save the environment.
Also, Electric Cars save the environment in much the same way that buying your meat at the grocery store saves animals. Isn't one of the major environmental problems with coal power? How are you going to afford to charge your car when electricity rates skyrocket due to environmental laws limiting carbon dioxide emissions?
In the eyes of environmentalists, electricity (since the vast majority of it comes from coal) is just as much the enemy as oil.
