Total Failure?

A Volt cheerleader - the difference?  Mac wasn't subsidized by the coercive removal of money from your pockets and mine.  Which is a shame because if GM wasn't saddled with coercively extracted union contracts, perhaps they could make this vehicle and do it right.

Of course, the schizophrenic way this nation runs its energy policy doesn't bode well for the future of electric cars.  It's one thing to power 10,000 or 20,000 Volts, another to run a fleet that way.  Nevermind the fact that if use of electric autos increases, costs for gasoline will tend to decline, mitigating the appeal of electric over gas powered cars.
