At $30,000 and 80-mph, an electric car for the common man - Aug. 13, 2007:
"If all goes according to plan, by 2009 you could be sticking it to Big Oil by driving an all electric, Chinese-made sedan for little more than the cost of a Camry.
"Both the low cost and the high range can be attributed to China, where low labor costs keep the price down and state-sponsored research into battery technology yielded what Rubin said was an advanced lithium ion power pack produced by Lishen Battery."
Would you plunk down 30-large on a Chinese car with unproven technology? I'd think a rickshaw would be a better play. And look better. And try recalling this one!
Another thing - why isn't the US government funding battery research like the Chinese? No wonder we're running out of juice, so to speak.
However, if this came from GM... hear that, Detroit?
