China and EV myths

This China_Fact_Sheet_Electric_Vehicles fact sheet from the White House is pretty encouraging for the future of EVs. Specificially the paragraph about "Public Awareness and Engagement", which I think, is the biggest hurdle. Over the past year I've talked to alot of folks with unfounded preconceived ideas about EVs. These are the best ones.

Myths:

1. "The range of an EV isn't enough for most people." An LEED builder
2. "The electric grid can't handle electric vehicles." A mechanic
3. "Electricity generated from coal pollutes as much as gasoline." A british friend
4. "Ethanol is the worst environmentally." A energy think tank "expert"
5. "We won't have electric cars anytime soon." The same think tank guy
6. "We don't all need an electric car like Al Gore says." A Montana house representative
7. "If we don't use gas then we won't have taxes for roads." A local builder
