Like you said, without bringing in the political side, but argument for argument sakes:

The i8 is not slow, finishing the quarter mile at the same pace of the M4 but doing a faster 0-60.

Petrol has limited range as well - how often do you stop by the gas station? Once electrical recharge station is widely implemented, limited range will no longer be a problem.

Additionally, electric/hybrid one-ups petrol in that you can charge it overnight in your own garage, something you can't do with a combustion engine. So if anything, for a DD car the electric car will never have to visit a recharge station while a combustion engine will still have to go to get gas, thereby saving you time.

That, and I think the i8 looks pretty sweet. Better than the M4, I might add. The Stingray is quite a looker too, though!
