Who killed the electric car?
Target:
President Obama
Sponsored by:
Back in 1996 GM produced a practical and affordable electrical car called the EV1. But it was available only by lease and when the leases expired they recalled and shredded them. (See the film, "Who Killed the Electric Car?")
Now GM is in financial trouble and will soon get a 13.6 billion dollar federal loan. Tell Obama to make it a requirement for receiving the loan that they produce and seriously market an EV2, an updated version of the EV1.

Here is an idea of how to reduce dependence on foreign oil really fast. Back in 1996 GM produced a practical and affordable electrical car called the EV1. It wasn't perfect, but it was adequate for a very large number of drivers. Many said they bought it as a second car, but then found they needed the larger range of their other car seldom enough that it was cheaper to sell it and rent when necessary. But the EV1 was available only by lease and when the leases expired they recalled and shredded them. (See the film, "Who Killed the Electric Car?")
Now that GM is in financial trouble, it is an excellent time to put some pressure on them to bring out an EV2, nothing fancy or futuristic, just an updated version of the EV1. How about making it a requirement for receiving the 13.6 billion loan for them to produce and seriously market an EV2 now?

I have my license but I refuse to drive a gasoline powered car but I want to drive. I am in need of a car that both helps me get to where I need to be and does not pollute the environment.

Now is the ideal time for the major U.S. automakers to start producing a line of Electric Cars, which are proven to be more fuel-efficient, less expensive to make, to buy, and to run than gas fueled cars. These plug-in cars are in demand, but unavailable to those of us who would like to own one. How better for all of us to benefit than that GM produce and seriously market an updated version of the EV1!

If my tax money is used to support the American Auto industry, I want to have a say in how it is spent. Alternative fuels and electric vehicles are the cars of the future and we have the capabiltiy to mass market them right now. Let's get on with it! |

Also American car manufacturers have to stop building self destruct mechanisms in their cars--they are built to break down--that is why the Japanese cars are so popular--they are built to last!!!We need cars like the electric or hybrid cars immediately--The car manufacturers have been very short sighted and greedy and that is why they are in trouble!!!!

The car companies should be nationalized and given over to progressive capitalists like Bill Gates.
