I am a fan of electric cars because electricity is a buffer against volatile (no pun intended) gas prices. A gallon of gas cost $1.20 just a decade ago, compared to $4 today, a jump of over 200%, compared to a maybe 20% increase in electricity costs. As various fuel sources experience price fluctuations, it will be easier to change the mix of power plants than to change which fuel cars use.

Why? (Of course there are many valid reasons, just want to get an idea of which ones people are interested in.)
