Media outlets do report on what other places/regions/countries are doing, but for the most part, only what they 'think' their local readers will want (or can relate to).
In my case, as a person who uses what the media puts out, I try to show what the world is doing (that is EV-related). I believe this can bring only good to the EV-cause. Not only are good ideas shared or built-on/improved, but a little competition/keeping-up-with-the-Joneses can be a stimulus for EV-growth. We are all aware that the more a market grows, the more money the money-lenders/investors/wealthy-fat-cats release funds for R&D, improvement in the product, and its manufacture/production (cost savings methods), etc. It is more than just the vehicles. It trickles down to all the parts/components, charging/EVSE, and yes, government regulations, as more EVs become a part of the world's society. I am sure there are those with much better education and experience with economics than I (and they are encouraged to weigh in here), but I can only see the more we (the EV community) embrace all (the world's) EV-efforts, the more change we will see occur (we will finally get to have more transportation choice options than just petroleum-powered ones). In an effort to try to tie us all together, is why I spend the extra time and effort posting what the other guy (in different parts of the Earth) are doing. The more we know, the more we grow :-) For EVLN posts use: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html#nabble+template%2FNamlServlet.jtp%3Fmacro%3Dsearch_page%26node%3D413529%26query%3Devln+-re%26sort%3Ddate {brucedp.150m.com} ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeping_up_with_the_Joneses#Social_effects -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/A-used-Chery-may-pop-into-some-neighbor-s-future-tp4672473p4672484.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
