Some time ago, it used to be the Standard Cars Manufacturers that bought Supercar Makers. Thanks to Financier-CEOs with short-term vision (in opposition with Enterpreneur-CEOs), the world is now upside down...

i think koenig should cut this electric crap out. the swedes are already green as.... ganja could be. the are using so much ethanol and biodiesel (cars, taxies, buses, locomotives); hell they even make fuel out of cow poo. how green is that?..man, i consider the scandinavians the greenest europeans. i believe they should gather their money and buy volvo too. green power of tomorrow is here today. it is in BIO, not fancy expensive crapy electrical cars. how can u say a car is green, even if it does run on batteries, but it costs hundreds of thousands? i thought GREEN is the definition of realiable, low emition, high mpg, affordable...cheap cars. (especially when the world is in a crysis). im so sick of this electric crap, id shoot every manafacturer that produces "electric cars".

Existing BIO won't carry us forward, as it's just causing more land to be dedicated to growing fuel crops and less food, which is having an impact on food prices. There isn't yet a viable real green alternative to petrol/diesel. It could be electricity if that can be produced greener, or hydrogen if production can be made more green and an infrastructure established.

yeah bristol.... but still, how much are you willing to pay for a "green" machine? 100 thousand..200 thousand?..more? do you really think that's green?(whatever the car: electric, bio, hydrogen etc. the money may be green, for the greedy bastartds, but for us?) you are better of then with a VW BLue motion.

Norther, I don?t know if you are just in denial or simply delusional but electric cars are the future. Your bashing of them is not only ridiculous but incredibly inaccurate. EVs are far more efficient, powerful (producing 100% torque at 0RPM); quiet, dependable...shit the list never ends. The reason for the price is because it?s a new technology...ohh and BTW the VOLT will be under 30k. BIO is only a medium between petrol and electric. I believe the EVs you are criticizing are ?super-electric cars? and are actually evenly priced if not cheaper than their petrol competitors, while out performing them in every way. These cars are going to make a huge sway in the public discourse of electric vehicles and may even start new category in racing and all motor sports, in which the combustion engine that only uses 25 percent of the energy in gasoline (heat and friction waste the rest) will be obsolete.
