Uh huh... don't bet on it. You'll lose.
We're now less than 2 years into Obama's push for electric cars, and the bankruptcy of many is the result. Six of 11 plug-in cars are now out of business, ended production or have not created a single car.
The Chevy Volt factory has had two major production stoppages. Ford managed to sell about 10 vehicles.
Electric cars now represent just 0.1 percent of total U.S. sales - and an even more miniscule segment of vehicles that are actually "on the road."
Chevy Volts and Nissan Leafs, both heavily subsidized by Obama - are still far too pricey and impractical for most consumers. So expect the internal combustion engine to be around a lot longer than you think.
Ford sold 167 of the Electric Focus model in Dec. 2012. Not good but they haven’t been pushing them either. I think the plug in hybrid will be a success. Not sure about the pure electric car unless they can increase range and lower costs. Go test drive a Leaf. You might end up leasing one. Don’t worry about high pressure salespeople. They are not pushing them much. Maybe because there is no routine maintenance required that the dealership could profit from.
