Sales will improve when gas hits $5.
I doubt that as you can get a car that gets 25% better gas mileage for 50% of the price. It has also been reported that the heater in those smug boxes makes the old VW Beetle seems like a sweat box. There is NO logical reason to by this oil\coal powered car.
“Sales will improve when gas hits $5.”
Why? I can get a small car that gets the same gas mileage for half the price. $20,000 in gas at $5/gallon gives me 4,000 gallons of gas, which gives 140,000 miles, to work with.
When gas goes up, won’t oil prices also drive up the cost of a kilowatt of electricity?
Electric cars will never, in the near term anyway, justify their cost.
