It didn’t occur to me until after I posted...but is it a coincidence that the 3 companies most heavily invested in hybrid and electric cars(toyota, Honda, GM) are the very 3 that appear to be slipping? Did they bet on the wrong technology?
They bet on the government being able to force products on a public that the public doesn't want.
I’ll have to ponder that while I’m driving my 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid...I bought it because Lexus was the only other hybrid SUV at the time, and I didn’t want a Lexus.
