America! Wake Up! We Need to Bring Back the Electric Cars!?
Seriously! We should all wake up and do something! We had the electric car and they took it away. Just image if we had the electric car and how much money we would have RIGHT NOW if we didn't need to pay for gas. Between 3 cars, I would have $880 in about a month instead of using it on gas. You know the saying, "one person can make a difference" Well it doesn't work with the government. So we all need to unite and make the government listen to the citizens!!! Together, we can all make a difference. I mean if you get most of the country against the government, I think we could possibly win. So get the word out! The government is probably looking over these questions and all over the web. So they will probably see this. So WHO IS WITH ME! Who wants the electric car back! And give reasons!!! Spread the word!!! This is the "UNITED" STATES OF AMERICA! We must stand together and get what we deserve! I know. Why should we be helping the evil oil companies? If we still had electric cars and we all had them now, we could have probably postponed that big part of Antarctic from breaking off! Or even prevented it from breaking off. Yeah I heard about that car from Honda. We got a commerical for that in New Jersey. Then I heard it was only going to be tested in California. I was like "WHA...!" Well I don't have one is because they make them SO expensive now because they are the highest performance types that are like over $100,000 and face it, most American's can't afford to have a car that expensive. Hell yea Jill! Y!A will take over the world! And we shall be the leaders of this new world!

yess i see the you have seen the movie who killed the electric car? lol great movie but imagine what we would have done to save the environment stupid oil companies

Honda will be introducing a revolutionary car in LA soon. It's expensive though and has limited availability.

1. no one took the electric car away, there are no laws limiting it's production, it has fundamental problems that have not been fixed. electric cars with good enough batteries and charging systems to go more than 100 miles are out of most peoples price range, and there fore not going to make it on the open market. the last viable electric i saw was gm's ev1 and i think the price tag was $90,000 and had a range of 80 miles, my nos'. may be off a little but i think this is close. 2. why do you think the gov is some kind of covert organization trying to do evil to it's citizens?

America wake up the time of the horse is returning ?

Go buy one. What does the government have to do with it? There are electric cars for sale. It is because people like you that we don't have electric cars. What is your answer to this? Why don't you have one? Let's hear it. Why don't you have one??

We'll take the world by storm, today Yahoo! Answers, tomorrow the world! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Why do you insist it be one of the Big Three auto manufacturers? There are many electric car manufacturers, if you'll bother to look. Better yet, BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC CAR using a recycled car with a dead gasoline engine. We have the technology! All we need is for people like you to take matters into their own hands, and scare the Big Three into giving us what we want!

wake up America, We are going to start walking

I almost had one, but the extension cord was SO expensive.

I think plug in hybrids are more appropriate for the time being. They don't have a limiting range, yet save a huge amount on fuel. The grid is already much cleaner than burning gasoline. As the grid gets cleaner, they will be even cleaner to charge. Electric car technology will advance while we drive PHEVs and some electrics. There are already viable markets for electrics as delivery vehicles, small job trucks like Phoenix Motorcars is making to sell in Mexico, etc. http://www.pluginpartners.org/ Plug in Partners makes a pretty good case for PHEVs. You can sign a petition to promote PHEVs at their website. "Plug-in hybrid vehicles can range from 20 to 60 miles without the use of gasoline after being charged in a standard electrical outlet. That means tens of millions of motorists could make their daily commute using little, if any, gasoline. A motorist driving 9,000 annual gasoline-free miles and 3,000 using gasoline would get 100 mpg (based on vehicles that get 25 mpg)." "These savings would be even more dramatic if plug-in technology is combined with already-existing flexible fuel technology." "Charging the battery each night would cost less than $1.00 at current rates. PHEVs outfitted with a battery pack providing a 40-mile electric range could power, using the all-electric mode, more than 60% of the total annual miles traveled by the average American driver"

What good would electric cars do? Burning coal to make electricty is no better than burning gasolene. And it would not be cheaper either. An electric furnace is 100% eficient and is still the most exspencive option.

We're working on it. Available in California in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost about $27,000 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge. http://www.aptera.com/details.php Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy, and a range of over 600 miles total when in electric/gas hybrid mode, for around $30,000. On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon. The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency. http://www.aptera.com/details.php Available in late 2009, the ZAP Alias will cost $30,000, have a top speed of 100 mph, and a range of 100 miles per charge. http://zapworld.com/electric-vehicles/electric-cars/zap-alias Soon thereafter the ZAP-X will be available at a cost of $60,000 with a top speed of 155 mph and a range of 350 miles per charge. http://zapworld.com/electric-vehicles/electric-cars/zap-x Available in 2009, the Miles Javlon will cost $30-35,000 with a top speed of 80 mph and a range of 120 miles per charge. http://www.milesev.com/index.asp#hsv.swf Phoenix Motorcars will start selling their SUT to individuals in late 2008 or early 2009. It will cost $45,000 and have a top speed of 100 mph with a range of 100+ miles per charge. http://phoenixmotorcars.com/

Since this is America, you should realize that if there were a market for electric cars, they would be available everywhere. The hard truth, however, is that there is little or no market for these expensive toys because they are just that, expensive toys. To be competative, an electric car must have the same level of performance, cost and convenience as a conventional fueled vehicle. For example, consider a typical small sedan (e.g. Honda Civic). Initial cost (MSRP) approximatly US$20,000 Capacity - 4 adults in relative comfort (not luxury) Range between refueling - 250 miles Refueling time - 5-10 minutes Refeuiling convenience - tens of thousands of convenient locations throughout the country Cruising speed - 80 mph Acceleration - 0-60 in 12 seconds Comfort range - can keep cabin in comfort zone when outside temperatures are as high as 100 or as low as 0 degrees F. Show me the electric car that can do this, I and you will have found one that will sell.

U will loose about 40% from AC to battery. This alone means that u will produce more CO2 at the power plant.

Don't forget they killed the NIMH battery too. That's more than half the problem. Even the EV-1 wasn't very good without it. Chevron bought the company, and the patent rights with it. I believe you can own patent rights for 8 years, so they should be expiring any time. With the NIMH almost anyone could build an effective EV. Have you looked at the European models? I prefer American too, but there are some very good ones with pretty long track records.
16 :
just remember, the oil industry with blessings from the Bush Administration launched a counter-suit against the California Air Rescources Board that effectively killed the zero emissions initiative. also if I remember, GM was also involved. Well cheer up. the big three auto makers are in financial difficulties due to their own making. by the time the big three actually decide to build electric cars, it will probably be to late for them. I wonder why they have been laying off employees????? should this Global Warming propaganda actually be true, then the only vehicles that make sense for the normal day to day getting to and from work, coffee shop etc. is the battery electric. save your fume belching buggy for the family vacation. it will be companies like Tesla, Phoenics Motor Cars, Aptera and others who will provide a viable alternative in cleaner transportation. check out these sites:

why dont our represenatives in D.C. take pay cuts and use that money to help others?
why dont our represenatives in D.C. take pay cuts and use that money to help others?
The current salary (2009) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year. congressional pay rates also affect the salaries for federal judges and other senior government executives. imagine they all take pay cuts down to 100k/year that would save $39,590,000 a year from congressional saleries i mean why should they make more the then national average salary (In the United States of America, the average annual wage was $36,764 in 2002) oh and they work less the the average person (Since 1985, Congress has allocated an average of 152 days per session) i got this info by doing yahoo searches im not saying they shouldnt get paid just that if we need 800billion to help out the economy why shouldnt they help pay some of it and your right 39 mill isnt that much but then again how much is 800 billion going to cost you in the long run

The policies of this type are never implemented to harm oneself. You are right on the huge sum a country can save by giving a small contribution from everyone.

I disagree with this line of reasoning. George Washington initially offered to serve as the first U.S. President for free. He later decided that it wasn't a good precedent because it shouldn't be a requirement that one is already wealthy prior to running for office. Think about it. In order to become a representative, you actually have to win an election, give up all of your privacy, open your personal life to vicious attacks by your opponent, and potentially quit your day job while you are in the process of campaigning. We have enough wealthy elitists in congress as it is. The last thing we need is a change in policy that would make it impossible for working professionals to run for office. By the way, 39, 590, 000 doesn't even buy one jet for the military. That particular change in policy would not help with the budget deficit at all.

A cut in their salaries alone wouldn't make a dent but at least it would be a gesture. Let's remove their dining rooms, cafeterias, health clubs, and all the other crap-ola we're paying for. And this is just the icing on the cake: Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in Congress left town for their annual retreat at Kingsmill Resort and Spa in nearby Williamsburg, Va., which offers "unforgettable golf, luxurious accommodations... and an abundance of recreational opportunities." And before anyone screams that the Republicans just had a retreat, yes they did, but we're not paying for it: "Republicans spend no public money on their retreat...Democrats spend taxpayer money on their retreat but do not permit lobbyists to accompany them. The public pays for a charter train from Washington to Williamsburg for many of the 200 members who attend, as well as conference rooms, security and catering." I'm sick of the entire bunch and it's only been a couple of weeks.

In order to become a representative, you actually have to win an election, give up all of your privacy, open your personal life to vicious attacks by your opponent, and potentially quit your day job while you are in the process of campaigning. We have enough wealthy elitists in congress as it is. The last thing we need is a change in policy that would make it impossible for working professionals to run for office. By the way, 39, 590, 000 doesn't even buy one jet for the military. That particular change in policy would not help with the budget deficit at all.

A cut in their salaries alone wouldn't make a dent but at least it would be a gesture. Let's remove their dining rooms, cafeterias, health clubs, and all the other crap-ola we're paying for. And this is just the icing on the cake: Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in Congress left town for their annual retreat at Kingsmill Resort and Spa in nearby Williamsburg, Va., which offers "unforgettable golf, luxurious accommodations... and an abundance of recreational opportunities." And before anyone screams that the Republicans just had a retreat, yes they did, but we're not paying for it: "Republicans spend no public money on their retreat...Democrats spend taxpayer money on their retreat but do not permit lobbyists to accompany them. The public pays for a charter train from Washington to Williamsburg for many of the 200 members who attend, as well as conference rooms, security and catering." I'm sick of the entire bunch and it's only been a couple of weeks.

They won't they think they deserve a lot of amenities because they are working for us. Never mind how rotten things have gotten because of the greed, political favors, and the general screwing over of the american people that have been going on for years thanks to "special interests" of all kinds.
