Speaking of history, keep in mind that when Bertha Benz took her little day trip, there were no dedicated fuel stations, no dedicated road system with signs, street lights, etc. No trained mechanics or parts stores. No "big oil" to produce and distribute the fuel, oil, grease. All that infrastructure had to be created and built so that we could enjoy the liberty and resulting productivity gain from cars and trucks.
So I don't buy into the argument that electric cars are doomed because of a lack of infrastructure. The major hurtle is range, and then cost. Those will be overcome. We'll need a much larger electrical infrastructure, that will be very expensive. Who will bear that cost? Probably us tax payers... -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
