Question Earthority!

“Like strange, silent techno-zombies EVs keep rolling back into the public eye, earnestly appealing to us to ignore basic economics and fall under the sway of their swift, silent, non-polluting mobility. But despite the most ardent labor of various entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers; despite some of the most ingenious inventions, adaptations, modifications and applications of all sorts of technology, EVs have not been able to become the car the public wants them to be. They have succeeded as purpose-built vehicles — fork lifts, golf carts, ‘city cars,’ airport shuttles and the like. But they have never become the car for the open road, the let’s-drive-over-to-the-shore-for-the-weekend car. Why? Let’s go over this one more time, class: Range.” (06/30/06)
