Few people are willing to buy a car that goes 35 miles on an 8 hour charge.
Seeing as that would meet the needs of about 90% of the population, why do you think it is that people won't buy it?
Note to cd. Check sales. :S
:B obviously I know they are in fact not selling. My question is why? If they meet the needs of the people out there (they do, according to the stats), WHY aren't people buying them?
Well, people just expect their new car to do what their old cars could do. They may be able to slide by with a 35 mile limit, but why should they so limit themselves? The car is expensive. If it sold for $17,000, like the Corolla, more environmentally minded people would no doubt buy it.
If you stand back and look at what you get, it just doesn't make sense to the masses.
As an aside, had GM put that developmental $$ into batteries, they might have hit a home run.
Just my thoughts.
