On a second note what is the sense of anything electric. The energy to charge the batteries mostly comes from fossil fuel power plants. Now if you use alternate energy to charge the batteries that would be 100% different. There are more and more alternate energy sources but overall people do not want to be inconvenienced.
Here's a great piece from MIT on the environmental and financial "sense" of electric cars. Huge benefits to the environment and often less expensive than gas. Boats are not ready for prime time yet--we need a few more years progress on battery efficiency.
