Bribing Ford, GM, Xhrisler (or whatever they're called) to go along and get rich..<

That's why even though my father worked for GM and my grandfather worked for Ford I will never ever buy a car from either of them. They sold out America, and no longer represent American industry.

We visited the Studebaker Museum in South Bend,IN. Before WW1 Studebaker offered a line of light and medium duty electric powered trucks. There were a few other manufacturers who produced small numbers of EV's, Baker Electric, Walker, and British Electric Vehicles in the UK, but they eventually focused on industrial applications for their vehicles.

Studebaker discontinued their line of EVs by the time we were involved in the war and never produced them again because of the same problems plaguing the EVs today, limited range, inconvenience of recharging, and then as now, how insanely expensive they were. Technology improved but there's still a long way to go to make them even somewhat practical and feasible.
