I find this thread interesting in several ways, one of them being how there seems to be resistance to electric vehicles themselves. I agree that government intervention to 'corral' the mass market into a different mindset is obnoxious, to say the least, however I hope that the actual technological advances can be disassociated from bureaucratic manipulation of consumers.
Consider this- If the federal government introduced legislation to restrict the use of alternative fueled vehicles, for the purpose of making us dependent on a single source of fossil fuel, how would that change our perception of the newer technology
