are you looking for a HYBRID or a truly ELECTRIC car ?

an eclectic electric.

There isn't many fully blown electric cars on the market but if you start saving you could try and reach for the sky and this Tesla Roadster:

In theory, in 2011 there will be the Chevrolet Volt...
but I sincerely don't believe it's going to be as low as $20,000 (your price range). I don't think there is such a vehicle (fully electric car at such a price range....)

Reva electric cars.
Dont think they are available in the US.... so that makes this a particularily useless post.

Electric cars are merely passing the buck from one dirty energy source to another; in this case from petrol in the tank.. to coal at the power station. unless of coures you have solar recharging.

This article lists a few manufacturers ... but I never heard of them and I doubt that some of them are actually street legal in the United States:

Technology is being developed to alow flexible polymers to be used in solar cells. Your electric car will be covered in theses cells allowing your car to recharge a little as it drives

how about this 1896 electric car ?
can probably be built at home .

Aaaand.... I see articals from time to time about service stations having battery pack change facilities. The proponant of this scheme proposes that all cars have a similar battery installation. you drive over a pit wherea robotic arm removes your battery pack and installs a new one then you drive off after paying.
Removed batteries are recharged and reused next day.

I rather think that individual car companies would prefer to keep their installations separate and set up their own network of service stations or francise the servicing of battery packs.

Somehow, I think I know which one of us would be getting the prefried battery pack, and his name isn't you.

Dayum. I could drive halfway to albuquerque before needing a charge. Unless I were using headlights or air conditioner.
