RR On EV
Posted by Big Gav in electric vehicles
Robert Rapier has a look at the state of the EV market - Electric Vehicle Update.
In 2009 and 2010 we should see a lot of hybrids and fully electric cars hitting the roads. I spent a little time this weekend reviewing the potential offerings. Here is where some of the more frequently-mentioned offerings stand. ...
1. The Aptera 2e ...
2. The Ford Fusion ...
3. The Chevy Volt ...
4. The Tesla Roadster ...
5. Plug-in Toyota Prius ...
Based on the large number of electric offerings to be rolled out over the next two years, I would be surprised if some don't stick around for the long run. A return to $4.00 gasoline should accelerate public acceptance of electric vehicles. The Aptera looks like a winner, provided buyers embrace the futuristic design. The Ford Fusion hybrid also looks like it is ready to make major inroads into the market share of the Toyota Prius. And don't be surprised to see lots of electric Mini Coopers showing up on the roads soon. Now I just need to figure out if I am ready to be a part of the experiment and buy one of these vehicles.
