One off prototypes and research vehicles don't count.


Make, model, range, price, and a real sales date or don't bother.

I'm not gonna play this game again with you where you
pretend like I've not already given you this information.


All you've posted is breathless press releases about stuff that maybe,
someday, might work.


There are no pure electric, production cars that go much more than 40 miles
on a charge and all of them cost several times what even hybrids cost, let
alone a pure ICE car.


You are just arm waving.

All ya gotta do is look at the new models coming
out.


Name one.

Make, model, range, price, and a real sales date or don't bother.


So far we have the Chevy Volt, which goes 40 miles, costs $41,000 after
subsidies, and goes on sale November, 2010.

Where are all these pure electric cars that are in production and go 120 miles
or better on a charge you keep arm waving about?

Ok, for starters, here's 2 that beat your
40mile...$41,000 dollars. I think there's a least a dozen
more.

Nissan leaf, 100miles, $25,280.00

Wheego whip, 100miles, $26,495

I may add to this as time allows, but everyone knows
they're all over the place. This is the first wave, using
the first generation, and emerging technology. And...
anyone with extra money can get a fancy, fast one too.
