TOO MUCH.

HOPE, THOSE CARS CAME DOWN IN PRICES. I LOVE THEM. THEY ARE BEAUTIFULL IN ALL ASPECT, BUT EXPENSIVE. IF THOSE COMPANIES MAKING CARS, DONT SELL THEM CHEAPER TO PUBLIC, WE WILL KEEP DESTROING THIS PLANET. YA, STOP MAKING GASOLINE CARS, STOP THEM. START PUT IN ELECTRIC STATION IN ALL USA, AND YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE BUYING EV CARS IN EVERY WHERE. EV CARS NEED TO BE ACCEST TO ALL PEOPLE, NOT ONLY RICHES. I WILL PAY$ 20 TO 25.000 BUT THOSE CARS NEED TO REACH AT LEAST 300 MILES IN RANGE, BEFORE ANY RECHARGE, AND ALSO RECHARGE FASTER, AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TIME,AND BE AVAILABLE TO RUN 300 MILES BEFORE NEW RECHARGE. ALSO BIGGER CARS, SUV, MINI VAN, TRUCKS ETC,ETC. WE STILL NEED THE OIL, WE HAVE TO KEEP BUYING OIL, CAUSE WE MAKE ELECTRICITY FROM IT, AND SOME DAY,BE READY TO USE THE SUN COMPLETED, EVEN THE AIR CURCULING OUR CARS. ENERGY IS AROUND US IN SUN LIGHT,HEAT,AIR,EVEN WE CAN USE THE POLUTION AND TRANSFORM IT IN ENERGY, WE HAVE TECNOLOGY, BUT RICHES PEOPLE ARE BEHIND EVERYTHING.

Electric Family Vehicles

It is wonderful to see us moving forward with steps to protect our environment. I have two things that concern me about purchasing one of these kinds of vehicles. The first is that none of these vehicles are geared toward families. Where is the trunk space? Are there any hidden storage areas? The second concern is the cost. The economy is in the toilet right now and the sticker price is a bit much for most families. I am a single mom who works 1 full time and 2 part time jobs, I am also a full time college student. Every cent I earn is counted and recounted and honestly if it is too much of an additional expense it is just not done in my house. I want to help insure a future for my child but I first need to put food in her mouth and clothes on her body. If buying a cheaper used vehicle that is gas powered only helps the finance for the next few years then that is what I will do. I would prefer to start helping the environment but I can't if the initial cost remains the same. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Aimee Graham

Your comments on Electric cars

Aimee, You are absolutely right. America is in the toilet right now. But we cant flush. We need to get out. One way out is to advocate for electric vehicles. Go into your local dealership and tell the Sales Manager to tell the Dealership owner - "I wont buy another internal combustion engine vehicle, it has killed too many veterans and neighbours, I wont give another $1.3B a year to Iran to kill my fellow citizens." How we can stop Aimee is to vote with our voices and our feet. Even if temporarily we have to still drive around in an ice vehicle we can tell the dealers who buy from the manufacturers our choice.
