Jim Electric cars are good inside factories,and warehouses.

Depends on what one means by "car" in this context.

Easy to keep them charged.

To a certain point. Batteries degrade; charging requires
electrical energy, which is generally derived from
mechanical energy (with one exception: photovoltaic solar
panels), which is directly extracted in some cases (tidal,
wind), and derived from thermal energy in most other cases.

When electric cars can go from the four corners up Eli
mountain and get to Denver, I'll buy one.

I'll admit to some confusion as to the location of your mountain.
Google suggests Romania. What you want, apparently, is an airplane.

Till then it will be
hybrid.or liquid hydrogen.

Hybrid is AFAIK the most efficient.

Swiss doctors like electric cars,and I think
electricity is cheap there?? Bert


No doubt because of the hydroelectric facilities, but I'd have to look.

Linux. An OS which actually, unlike certain other offerings, works.
