Synopsis:
In 2006, as many as 5,000 modern electric cars were destroyed by the major car companies that built them. Today, less than 5 years later, the electric car is making a global resurgence and changing the future of the automobile. Behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors, the race is on to develop the most economically accessible, electric car. Here, we follow the innovative business models engineered by CEOs and independent entrepreneurs looking to jump-start the electric car industry, getting us off our dependence on foreign oil, and to win over the hearts and minds of the public around the world.

more electric car propaganda

PortlandRL

All the morally-righteous people in Portland are gobbling them up left and right to prove to everyone that they "care".

Personally, my experience with battery-powered devices has not been such that I would consider buying a car powered by them. Last night I was out train hunting and right as I got the communication I was waiting for, my scanner battery croaked. Then right as the train got to my camera, the camera battery died, as well. If I had an electric car, chances are good I'd still be stuck in that parking lot.
