aleph5 said:Yep, definitely slanted. It shows the federal gov't costs for A123 and Fisker, but not for Tesla or the billions it continually spends subsidizing fossil fuels. Also, Fisker actually received $193 million of its loan, not $529M. It also states that the cheapest EV is the Mitsu at $30K, in contrast to the average of about $29K spent for a new car! Didn't they figure out that you can find the real price of a stripped LEAF and then subtract the $7500 credit shown elsewhere in the chart, to get the consumer's effective starting price for an EV at close to $21K, before state tax credits commonly offered and also before significant operational cost savings?
This is just dishonest. And I can imagine Michele Bachmann having one of these posters hanging in her office.
