Henry Ford and the Mustang were developed with private money. They are using tax money for this. The concept is flawed. Few people are willing to buy a car that goes 35 miles on an 8 hour charge. Their horrible sales prove this point. I would much rather have seen my tax money go towards researching a vehicle that the folks would want and buy. If they come up with one in a few years that is a winner, then I will buy one. The $1.5 BILLION of course is just peanuts compared to the $85 BILLION bailout. By the way, the Edsel was really a Ford with a few different, cosmetic parts. Very little research money involved compared to the Vault.

The thread is about fuel prices and issues. Not the political right and wrong about the GM bailout and projects allowed to continue after the bankruptcy. Besides I believe most of the developement cost was spent before the bailout. It is not like GM started the project when the money was recieved from the government.

Anyway the more electric miles the less imported oil and the more downward pressure on fuel prices.

If electric vehicles could grab just 20% of the market we could make a huge improvement.

Don't worry you can remain one of the 80% that drives with gas or diesel.
