Could it be the same people that took the model out of the Smithoniom Musium and recalled all the experimental that they were allowing for personal use by a limited number????

I understand the film will be out on DVD soon:

Interesting thing about the EV1 electric car, from the movie. The film pointed out that there was a waiting list of 5000 people for the car. But remember, the car was only available in California and Arizona. What would the waiting list look like if the car was available everywhere?

If you were to scale that level of demand up to the whole USA, that would be at least 50,000 people who want an electric car. Scale that level of demand up to the whole world, and you have at least 100,000 people. Is that a lot of demand?
*
Well, for some car makers, like Jaguar, for instance, 100,000 cars is all they sell in an entire year.
*
In other word, YES, that is a lot of demand for electric cars. Especially considering that the people on that waiting list had to jump through all sorts of hoops and fill out a mountain of paperwork just to be waiting for a lease. Imagine if the car had been easier to get - imagine if the car had actually been promoted and advertised!

So why aren't the major auto companies making them?
