Hello All A very insightful article by Clare Bell at: http://www.evworld.com
A small piece.... "So why hasn't Ford SOLD many Think Cities? To sell something, you have to offer it for sale. The truth is, Ford hasn't. Instead, they've taken a page from GM's saga of the EV1. It's easy to get out of building EVs. All you do is to raise the bar so high that it impossible for any but a small fraction of the population to make it over. When you find the bar can't be raised high enough to prevent waiting lists, you simply hire public relations firms and repeat over and over "there is no demand." Even reporters from respected newspapers such as the NY Times and LA Times haven't asked basic questions or spoken with actual EV drivers. Industry press releases are accepted as disinterested truth. You simply claim there is no market and use that "fact" to knock down the California ZEV law. Devilishly brilliant."
