      Rum,
      Electric motor = wide torque range -- no transmission required.

      Your right! --> just go buy a diesel.
      VW TDI engine looks cool! Its got a high pressure rail injection system thats state-of-the -art, but they are too expensive!!
      When will US manufacturers get similar technology?

        You bring up one huge point that the big three manufacturers do not tell potential buyers. What it is going to cost to replace that power pack of batteries in 4 to 5 years? Savings indeed.
