Really?

In Reply to: Who Killed the Electric Car? – A lot of fluff with no substance. posted by EdM on November 27, 2006 at 06:43:00:

I don't think they specifically blamed consumers- they were listed in the many categories that case built to map out the cars unfortunate demise. Many, many factors were listed. I found that enlightening and thought provoking.

If I remember correctly- The EV had a range of 60 miles per charging. That's not a bad range- for Tom Hanks or myself - and from what the documentary stated, a new improved battery with a longer range was finished and available..

According the documentary - One of the reasons the EV hadn't really caught on, was a lack of advertising. I don't dispute that. If they can sell Hummers -they can sure as hell sell EV's

I seem to remember in the last stages of the Clinton administration he suggested giving preferred parking to electric cars. Wow, now that's a motivator! All that went out the window, with the EV, during the present shameful Bush administration .

I enjoyed the documentary and thought it presented a sound case without juvenile tactics that sometimes appear in liberal minded films. (Michael Moore stuff, Grass etc )
