Might this be the answer?
Really? Most people I know just fly. Also Amtrack is a great way to travel for the non-fliers.kubel said:My parents, for example, want a car that they can drive across the country.
As I said:adric22 said:Obviously this has been discussed on this board and 100's of others at great lengths already. But just to throw in a few other issues.
A HUGE portion of the population prefer to drive large pickups and SUVs. Currently there is no mass-market product available in this segment. (I don't count VIA motors as they are WAY too overpriced)
There is also a HUGE problem with consumer ignorance. Most do not know EVs exists, and those that do lack understanding of how they work or how much they can be bought for.
Its going to be slow progress, guys. It is going to take another 10 years to really get to the point where the average person will really start to question their need for a gasoline vehicle.
