I'll remind everyone that General Motors had the EV-1 back in 1997. It was fully electric and well liked among those that drove them.
Only a handful were allowed to be sold - most were leased. People who leased them loved them. They wanted them. They had checkbooks out ready to buy them.
General Motors stopped production, took all the leased cars and *destroyed* them. No electric cars for you!
So we could have been driving electric cars for over 20 years. So all the *whining* about how hard it is to build electric cars gets no sympathy from me.
