Electric 100%, get it, Detroit?
LA: What a fitting place.
Home of the EV-1, and home of the EV-1 graveyard.
Home of Mass Transit destruction by G.M. (consult federal court proceedings) and conspiracy to destroy the rail system.
Every drive in L.A.? It is full of SUVs, those guys are hardly green.
Hypocrisy pure and simple.
No, the future of cars is not in L.A.
It is in Japan or China. Buy the future now: A Toyota Prius.
We are very excited about our launch in the United States.You can follow us on Twitter @bpcommunity to get the latest updates and letting us know what you think about the electric car network industry. We like to hear from you. See you there :)
GM shouldn't get any tax money until the execs behind killing the EV and selling the battery technology to Chevron are prosecuted. Apparently the battery technology in the EV was developped with dept of Energy tax dollars. Then GM bought it saying they were going to commercialize it with the EV-1, but instead sold it to Chevron Texaco so they could bury it. GM's already benefitted from taxpayer investment to make an electric car, and they took that gift and threw it in the garbage so the oil co's could make more money. The current 25 billion bailout to retool factories for fuel efficient vehicles is ALL Detroit NEEDs! The only reason they want more money now is to keep their SUV plants OPEN because the first 25 billion has restrictions against that! The big oil plan is to get people to buy cheap taxpayer subsidized SUV's from Detroit so Oil Co's can make more money!!
Perhaps, just perhaps, the US government can help support new start-up 'American' automobile companies that would be 'green' from the get-go, instead of the entrenched, slow to change companies that have duped and soaked the American consumer for decades.
America is becoming a failed state.
screw california. instead of feeding kids like tesla or fisker, detroit 3 can get bailout so that they can start producing electric vehicles from now.
