An electric car doesn't go very fast and are usually small, Gas powered cars have much more torque and speed. Some newer cars run on both so when they are going slow they run on electricity but when they are going fast they run on gas. These are not electric cars though as the fuel used is gas to create the electric power.
To answer your question, gas cars are far better because they can go further then 20 miles and are legal on our roads. There are no legal electric cars commercially built.and do not exist.
