Practical EVs now!

[Old Rocks]

Yes it does. Electric golf carts to replace automobiles are not a solution for the American culture.

An electric car is not a golf cart.

Our dependence on foreign oil is one of our greatest security problems. Electric cars are part of the solution.

Why should Americans be forced to do with less?

Is Obama's dependence on foreign debt not a security problem?

Do with less? Care to point out why electrically powered cars and trucks equal doing with less?

Yessiree........ And I really like this golf cart. And triple that mileage per charge with a DBM Energy battery pack.

Which electric trucks are you referring to?

Poor Revere is incapable of thinking past 1950.

Which is what you say when you can't defend the practicality, or lack thereof, of your bullshit.

We need religion, faith, hopey changey, right?

Those are pathetic stats, except for urban delivery and short hops in town.

Smothered in subsidies.

Not "practical" without them.

LOL. Same ol' idiocy from mdn. Waiting for CF, Walleyes, and Si to add their objections to the future.

Four times the energy to manufacture, that is without the battery.

Tell us how much CO2 is created manufacturing the battery.

Idiocy is to post without being able to respond when challenged, again, and again, and again.

Four times the energy to make this electric car, so tell us how much CO2 to make this car and the battery, we need to know if this is competitive.
