It's also worth pointing out that Pivco, which had some financial and engineering weaknesses, didn't have anything close to Ford's reported problems with the nicads in their Citibees. There was some trouble with undercharging, and that's about all AFAIK. I doubt that Ford would deliberately sabotage them, but they might have stopped trying very hard to solve any problems that arose. Let's hope for a buyer for Think -- one who actually has some commitment and environmental ethics. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Want to unsubscribe, stop the EV list mail while you're on vacation, or switch to digest mode?
