Pure EV?
About the "keeping it going" part, it gets about 75 mpg on normal
gas, and the diesel versions get about 90mpg, so if that's what you
mean, there's no problem there.
Plus, there are quite a few rumors that Daimler Chrysler is going to
be bringing both the Smart and the A-Series Mercedes (at 11ft in
length) over to the US as soon as next year.
Some of the rumors are here:

That's just a quick google search. Not sure if a more extensive
search will lead to more conclusive (either for or against).
I know I'd buy one!
