Who is they? I think it is the same people who you are trying to get
to sign the petition. Auto mfgs are not sure enough people will buy
electric cars to make it worth their while to pay the development non-
recurring costs.

You would be surprised how much effort these companies put into
determining what customers want. People are afraid Ecars will leave
them stranded or inconvenienced with the state-of-the-art of current
battery cars.

Hybrids are something else, but again most customers these days are
into more performance, so MOST of the new hybrids use the technology
to increase performance, not cut down on fuel usage or emissions.

Until you can convince the buying public that current cars have more
than enough performance, you won't get anywhere. Cars are more than
transportation, and symbolic of POWER. People want more POWER. Find
a way to change the buying public on that issue and you will be doing
a worthwhile thing.

Forcing mfgs to produce things the consumer will not buy risks
damaging our economy.

Personally my ten year old car has MORE than enough performance but I
know so many friends just have to have more POWER/PERFORMANCE!

Where's the electricity to power all these cars going to come from?

You can recharge them with a gas powered generator.

Day or night, still pumps out same amount of CO2, uses same amount of
fuel oil.

Only if it has regenerative braking.

"THEY?" How about YOU? YOU are the ones that didn't buy enough of them
to make them viable in the marketplace, you have only yourself to blame.
Signatures on petitions don't mean anything if they don't turn into
SALES of the vehicles.

So we just pollute more at night than we do currently. Yeah, that's great.

Precisely who are the "they" that are keeping the electric car from
us.

Since the EV1 was leased and not sold you never owned it so there is
nothing to return to you. GM was under no obligation to sell your car
to you. I can understand why GM would not want to shoulder the
ongoing maintenance of a car they had no intention of selling in the
long term.

Do you really believe nonsense like: "Once it appeared that it was
going to be a success, GM recalled all of the vehicles, and then
shredded all of them." Do you really believe a company like GM with
all of their financial troubles would invest the billions of dollars
to tool up a new car only to kill it because it was successful?

And who are the "us" who want to drive low powered limited range
electric cars.

And why would I want to burn coal to power my car. Effectively that
is what you would be doing.
