Its a full production, full-electric vehicle coming to select markets this fall, and will be widely available in 2012. I think its a great idea, it has 100mi/160km to a charge and using the full voltage charger can be replenished 80% (80 mile charge) in less than 30 minutes. They are building a national charging infrastructure with this vehicle. Its a very good style, and its very practical. I think its a fantastic, affordable new car. http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/

FORD, that's really too bad! hahahahaha See part of the problem with a car like this is that the housing market being what it was and is, is that a lot of people had to drive til they could afford it. I would never be able to risk that kind of mileage due to the distance I live from work. Sitting in traffic has got to count for lost time on that charge.

I haven't heard of a good reason to avoid putting that many batteries in a car yet, because new lithium ion battery technology can be installed with far superior ranges to 100 miles. But if you are able to charge up 80 miles in 25-30 minutes and you can plug it in at work while its parked, or plug it in at the grocery store, and obviously at home - it sounds practical even at 100 mile charge for most needs except large vacations/trips where you'd have to get a rental.
