Who Killed the Electric Car?

I disagree with the two lesbians. The electric car is out there and ready for purchase, now whats your excuse? Too expensive? The commie gov. didnt issue you one? Big oil?
Ahhhh!! it was Bush and Cheney! That’s it! Liars. Buy a Chevy Volt now and shut your mouth.
Good Evenig

I got upset when he shot down hydrogen fuel cells for using fossil fuels. Electric cars will probably be the end of the world if they ever catch on. To charge an electric car, you need electricity, to get electricity you burn coal to turn the turbines, which burns even dirtier than gas. Only about 15% of the U.S’s energy comes from alternative sources. We have tons of coal and it’s mining will sky rocket. This could even increase Sulfuric Acid in our water. Electric cars are not the answer.

Who killed the electric car? That man operating the crane.

@TheRealArchAngel Thats cool. I’ve checked out Greenpowerscience’s channel and came up with my own ideas. What about solar panels on the top of the car in addition to the things you mentioned. Maybe a wind turbine attached aerodynamically. Solar steam power might be viable too if you could get enough sun directed at one point.

I’m more for Kinetic-regenerative capacitors then rechargeable batteries in cars
One of the things not even menti0oned is that you have to spend $15,000 every 20,000 miles replacing the batteries and disposing of all those chemicals is a nightmare

Let’s see,
My Dad was looking at the Electric Van that Cost $140,000, $10,000 down, $1,400 a month
Besides this the thing had a Range of 20 miles before you had to recharge it for 8 hours
Alternatively there was a Gasoline Van for $8000, no down ,$280 a month and gasoline was $2.25 a gallon and the 20 gallon tank could let her travel 300 miles before needing that $40 refill of gas (on demand)
Gee I wonder why the “electric Car died” if my dad chose the Cheaper Gasoline Van (rollseyes)

Electric Cars run on Electricity which comes mainly from Nuclear Power and Coal, so it’s not that great of an overall solution in reality…Nuclear Power creates apocalyptic nightmare scenarios like 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl, so how is that really any better than gas??? …..Until cars and everything in society are fueled by Solar or Wind Power we are doomed to band-aid solutions like the electric car… Obama is calling for building Nuclear Plants, more potential targets for terrorists.

whatever what problems are you talking about with these cars? that they eliminate gas, they use low cost electricity for short drives which is where most of the pollution comes from, that they already are being uses successfully in japan and uk for years? tell me whats wrong with them seriously. explain to me why otherwise stfu because you don’t know what you are talking about. i on the east coast NEVER saw these in any auto sale when they were first popular.

I believe the reason there wasn’t a big market for the electric car is because we are so easily seduced into buying what the money reapers want us to buy.

people buy bigger cars because they are safer…fuel miliage versus safety–the choice is yours. steel is stronger than plastic, this is a no-brainer… neither is wrong, to each their own.

OOPS!!!

american car industry RIP 2009.
GM had their chance….

battery operated cars forever
