Ford and Magna announced their intention to design and produce electric cars in the near future.

Leaves this question: <fake Italian accent>Whaddaya gonna do in da winta?

No engine to cool = pretty cold buns drivin’ to work in -30!

How does one defrost the windschield without blowing heat?

I know what you’re going to say: electric heat! Right, an extra 1500 Watts for a heater, 300 Watts for a fan, 1000 Watts for a windshield defrost thingy (like in the rear window). What, are we going to pull a cartload of batteries around? That, or our driving radius just shrunk from 60 miles to two.
