“ Who killed the electric car ?! “
“We can replace our dependence on oil with biofuels and become the first country to have a million electric cars on the road and infrastructure for charging electric cars by 2015,” -Said Obama in January 2011.
” Revenge of the electric car !!! ”
Obama invested in taxpayer loans to put one million electric cars on the road by the end of 2015 ($2.4 billion). Fisker Automobile in 2010 got a taxpayer loan to build a sport electric car ($529 million).A123 – car’s lithium ion battery got a $249 million taxpayer loan.
To get to one million,the government puts hopes on this modelsof fuel efficient cars:
Fisker – Karma, Fisker Nina-Atlantic , Ford Focus, Ford Transit-Connect, Tesla Model-S, Tesla Roadster and Think City – either disappointed the 2015 projections.
Tesla Electric Vehicles A “Loser” – Mitt Romney
Today in debate Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney VS Barak Obama calls the electric car company Tesla Motors: A “Loser”.
So, big deal said Romney , Tesla is still in business, also Fisker Automotive, and the two car market “bankrupt businesses”, lithium-ion cell maker Ener1 and solar-panel maker Solyndra.
This companys received loans from the Department of Energy and other agencies during the Obama presidency.
Romney also said’s : We don’t just pick the winners and losers, you pick the losers !.
And against this, Fisker Luxury sedan – Karma and Tesla electric sport sedans Model S is still on the market.
But what do you think:
- Are Romney’s comments are usual presidential politics ?, or could it have an effect on public perception of understanding of the green-technology world?
- And “ who killing the electric cars” !?
