How sad that nobody wants them. In the US, the auto manufacturers did not advertise EVs (or did so only nominally). Instead, they carried out a campaign through the news media, to inform possible EV customers that EVs are (allegedly) slow, odd-looking, and impractical. In so doing, they insured EVs' failure in the marketplace. Have the European auto manufacturers also done this? There are probably many people here in the US who would like to have one of the European EVs, but the problems of importing one would be significant. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Want to unsubscribe, stop the EV list mail while you're on vacation, or switch to digest mode?
