Would You Purchase a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle?

If you have already purchased, or would consider purchasing one of these vehicles what are the main reasons for your decision?

If you would not consider buying one of these vehicles, is there a specific reason?

For sure! I've been casually investigating the Yukon hybrid lately (I'm an SUV guy). The Yukon gets 23 MPG or 10.2 L/100KM, which is over double the fuel economy of my current SUV.

Anyone have any experience with hybrid SUVs?

I totally would because that would make me a pioneer in my neighbourhood and I would feel great and cool. This is in addition to all the goodness my choice would bring the environment. Not to mention my wallet.
Electricity can be obtained by various means, which cannot be said about oil/fuel. That boosts my perception of my own freedom.
So ... YES!

I bought a used 2002 Prius in 2005 and it has been the absolute best car that I have ever owned or driven. At 167,596 miles it is going strong... I will be very sad when I finally wear it out and have to get a newer model. I don't understand why everyone isn't buying at least hybrid cars at this point. They are affordable and practical and great for our precious Earth...

No way!

My definition of green must involve far more that 0 tailpipe emissions based on the entire history of the vehicle's manufacture all the way back through mining and all the sources of energy used. Not a believer that the residual manufacturing waste (mining, carbon overload greater than gasoline) makes them green, YET. So let's keep going. We have to experiment before getting to the final solution (but I won't buy one). And the proposed mandates are silly. Don't force non-green solutions when we need to focus on green and "bridge" solutions in the "greening" direction. Hint: 10 pound laptop requires 40,000 pounds of "production" materials to be processed. 39,990 pounds of junk for a laptop does not make me think a 2000 pound electric car will ever be green. And what of the waste products of the resin for carbon fiber. Could go on.
