Yes, very interesting, I have owned several SAABs and I also really like them and I also consider buying a new one if electric, I decided 10 years ago to never buy a new fossil fueled car again..
So I have been waiting, and waiting.. The "1-litre" Demo-car almost got me to rethinkthis! as it would have made global use of bio-diesel possible! But then they did not go on and actually produce it when I wanted it, so I had to wait another decade. ..Again.. SAAB, yes we will se how this goes on, they have some company strategy of "not talk much" before they can actually sell/produce stuff. I really hope they are not to late in to the game now. But Besides beeing a half-Swedish company :-) they have an other advantage over some others, they have the Battery production unit. So they dont have to pay a full market price. If you want to see it that way. Plugin/BEV Here in Sweden the distances are long and a plugin version is probably what most need, so even if many trips is just 15-80 km each day, some are not.. But you can always have 2 cars and use the older almost free/cheap fossil one for that 1 day (or less) in a week that you need to do something unusual. But the taxes is high on diesel cars, so therefore BEV is not a perfect solution. /John ---------------------------------------- > From: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 09:35:29 +0000 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [EVDL] SAAB Returns From the Dead - Now an Full EV? > > I don't remember hearing about this on the list and I received some news > about it this morning that has prompted me to pen this message... > > Of particular interest to EU (and Chinese, apparently) readers, SAAB (cars, > as opposed to the military aircraft arm) went bust a couple of years ago > after being bought by GM (enough said!).
