4. Why hasn't someone else built one these?

The technology available, the know how, and the market! So why hasn't some smart business man/woman, made one of these obviously popular vehicles available to the public?

Anyone want to start an electric car company?

5. Huell Howser ... so he could get wider exposure in the doco (ha!)

6. The biggest culprit is - us.

We the people want big fast cars. We want power and speed and a roaring V8. WE want those things, so THEY provide them. If no one bought SUV's they wouldnt be killing the planet right now. No one forced people to buy SUV's or other gas guzzlers.

So we can blame the oil companies all we want, but in the end it is OUR fault.

8. I ride a bike...

... and will continue to do so until there are electric cars back on the market.

So fuck off GM, Ford, Dodge, et al! :)
