when I was a kid in the fifties there were electric milk cars /floats delivering lots of crates of milk, to the houses in the city.up the hills and down.they were powered with ordinary car batteries.they had a lot of weight on them, but they had no problem going.quiet and no pollution.where are they today?electric cars are the future, and I do not see why our government can’t invest in this technology and set up factories to produce and sell to the world before some other western country does.Just because we might be at the forefront of some other leading technologies does’nt mean we have to stop there, does it?

Yes, India manufactures and sells electric cars for daily use. Mileage is about 80kms, carries two people plus shopping and easily plugs into any household socket. It’s called the Reva, made in India. Sells for about US$5000 and comes in very snazzy colours. I may buy one for myself when the time comes.

With the President being an ‘oil man’, you can pretty much hang up the prospects of him pouring any money into electric car technology. If he were interested, he would have at least asked Congress to allocate funds in the last 6.5 years. Maybe the next President has the ability to see farther than 6 months into the future and invest for our future. If nothing else, our future cleaner air and less dependance on foreign oil.
I know what you are saying about electric vehicles yester-century. There were electric vehicles around when the combustion engine came along. Thanks to the oil companies, they died…..probably a painful death. The resurrection is a slow and agonizing process, but it IS happening!!
