Would people buy an electric car if there was an efficient method of charging the cars?

I am conducting a little poll to see how many people would use an electric car if it were efficient to charge (multiple charging stations, long range, and low cost).

In other words, would you drive a car that you could pay $0.75 (per 40 miles) to fill up vs. $4.00 (per 40 miles).
Just say YES if you would. Or if you wouldn’t please state why.

Okay. So… wireless charging for hybrid cars. Good Idea?

I am writing a paper on Hybrid Cars for my Science class, and I need as much information as possible on them. Can you give me some good sites? I know of hybridcars.com and howstuffworks.com.
Any others?

Also, I am going to come up with the perfect concept car, explaining it in my paper. What are some things that a perfect hybrid car would have?
One idea I had was to take the wireless charging seen on the new Palm Pre, as well as many other devices, and work on extending the rang of it. This way, we can install wireless charging at stoplights, electric cars automatically charging while stalled. Good Idea?
Please help me out, give me as much info as you can, and give me your opinion of what the perfect hybrid would be.
I obviously mean Range, not Rang.
