Green Plates

The Ontario government recently introduced a plan to give people who purchase electric cars a "green liscence plate" in order to encourage people to purchase these cars when they hit the market in the near future. These plates will encourage people to buy these cars as they allow th driver special privileges, such as special parking spots, recharge stations and even allowing the vehicle to drive in the HOV lanes seen around the GTA with only one passenger. Though these benefits seem generous we must ask ourselves how many people will actualy purchase one of these vehicles, heres a few reasons why I won't.
1) well cmon im a student, i dont have any money.
2) evein if I did have money the cars are expected to be very expensive, like cost of a mid range bmw, to me no contest
3) unproven technology, electric cars have been tried many times, always fail.
4) is it realy green? What do we do with this massive toxic battery when the car dies?
5) price of gas sucks yes, but recharging every 70-80km is brutal.
Seems to me like an unrealistic idea, again good initiative by the government, but unreasonable and ineffective, especialy during a recession. Nice try but no dice.
