Electric cars only go around 150 miles before conking out. Better Place is putting stations in Israel where it makes sense. You can’t go 150 miles without hitting the ocean or enemy territory. The system might work in Australia too, where most people live in coastal cities. But in California? Are consumers really going to buy a car in the $30,000 to $40,000 range that isn’t as functional as their cheaper gas car? It’s going to take work.

While the big three in Detroit clung to gas guzzlers, the industry and technology moved on. Like all companies they eventually got big enough that they thought they could prescribe what the buyer would get rather than ask what the customer wanted. Instead of learning from Toyota, they kept to the "old ways."

Now they're in D.C. begging for cash while history passes them by.

Of course Oregon and California are open-minded enough to accept the new industry, and eventually Detroit will be a memory, which is too bad for the average workers who are on the ship that these automakers are piloting to obsolescence.

it seems like electric cars are gaining serious momentum! its about time! I suppose doug korthof's persistence and advocacy has finally started to gain steam for EVs..Who needs the "big three" when we got so many oppertunties and innovation going on in the automobile industry today. Imagine the oppertunties this will bring!
