And just who are the many, many companies and manufacturers offering new and viable cars? Fisker? Oops, their going under. Chevy Volt? That's a hybrid. Look at their sales figures. Slightly less than 25,000 since their inception. Not exactly a barn burner in sales. Toyota? Nissan? Not talking about hybrids, but pure electric vehicles. Until there's sufficient infrastructure, better storage capacity of the batteries, and extremely fast charge times for the cells, full electric cars are simply not economically worth it for the vast majority of the people, at least here in the USA. Fleet delivery vehicles are mostly local delivery vehicles. Where it makes sense to do so, it's a good idea. The reality is that fully electric vehicles for the vast majority of US drivers, considering the present situation, is not a good fit at all.
