The fiscal conservatives are saying why is the government throwing money
at
a car only the rich can afford? If you want to crank up the electric
car
market, look at subsidies for ZAP and other cheap around town cars. Not
one
where the average purchaser has a $250,000 Adjusted Gross Income.

Again, as with all new technology, at first, it's expensive.

------------------------------------
New Technology? there were about 20 electric car companies in 1920. Got
30-50 miles on a charge then. How about supporting a $2000 electric car?

Yes, new technology. Compare the Tesla to those built in 1920 and get
back with me.

--------------------------------------------------
comparison. Still costs 3x a gasoline car. Gets a few more miles per
charge. Still uses fossil fuel to get charged. Better looking, more
comfortable. 1920, did not get taxpayer subsidy. Nastier stuff for the
battery. Lots more fossil fuel to build the fluff that makes the car look
so cool. Still good for around town. Want to go on a 300 mile trip? Plug
in a fossil fuel powered internal combustion engine.
