In 2018, electric cars will finally turn the corner from curious niche product to become a viable option for America's families. Electric cars will still only make up just 1.5% of all U.S. auto sales according Navigant Research. Electric cars are far simpler, mechanically, than internal combustion cars and should be more reliable. One remaining wrinkle is the $7,500 federal tax credit that manufacturers are counting on to help sell these electric cars. Maybe by then enough people will have changed their minds, and electric cars will be able to stand on their own.
