Incentives for Electric Cars


Recommended Posts

I have an idea...put windmills on top of the electric cars. They can generate their own electricity when they move!

What happens when you stop at a light? Do you call AAA for a push or do you subsidize industrial fans at every intersection?

What sort of mileage do electric cars get when it's below freezing? The Volt can go about 30 miles on a full tank of electricity - but that is in above-freezing temps.

Wonder how the heater is in those babies.

I used to have a VW Beetle - with an air-cooled engine the heater flat out sucked. I had a gasoline heater installed. It worked better than any cab heater that a water-cooled engine could produce - warm in 5 seconds or less. Maybe the government will let people buy gasoline for their car heaters after the electric revolution. Maybe.

Bu-bu-but it's Green®!

Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?
