I belve what happen to US gas price is doing just fine. This may be a turning point to make people stop dreamming about alternative energy cars. There always had been alternative energy cars before gas burnning cars. What make people go for the gas burnning cars is a long history behind it.
I'm keeping an eye on the new electric car company
http://www.universalelectricvehicle.com/ . I know at this point it cost too high. I beleve the company is trying to sell fleets of electric cars to company. The only two draw back is one: storge of electric and two: prices. The big 3 cars company in US knows they will not make much money in the long run with electric cars. They make most of the money on cars repair and parts. I'm sure they make money on patents for aftermarket as well. In electric there is very little parts to transfer energy to the wheel. So there is not much to repair the electric cars. When you brought your DVD player, What was the last time you had to get a new one cause your old one got broken?
I'll stop from there, I was about to type a 235 pages about what make people get into gas cars in the first place when there are alternative energy cars. :lol:
