It is done right now. Not by big auto makers, but by alternative makers and by home made conversions.

For example; in my country: http://www.ad-pecjak.si/ECO/Ecar1.htm

I, for example, drive a Vectrix - electric maxi-scooter. Range is between 60-80km, which is more than enough for my daily commute. I recharge aprox. once every two days.

And it's an USA company :-)

Yes, electric vehicles are not for all climates. But why would that be a limitation in all other climates, where they 'feel' perfectly well.

I'm sorry,and I mean no disrespect,but it is kind of foolish to beleive or state that that thing is practical for everyone.

That will not,for most people,even come close to meating their needs and would only be operable in fair weather conditions.

I really can't see making atrip to the grocery store for a family,or hauling children to school,or driving yourself 20+ miles to work on a highway on that.
