If the corrupt incompetent Auto Co's were only allowed to fail - to better allow the production of electric cars. Tho you can keep your Income tax dollars - and put them to work for you - instead of sending them to the IRS & the Bankers with a 100% Tax Credit: tnns.org/energy-credit</p> Cool site!

The major auto make got together and took back the cars that they had made from the people that had them, and then they crushed the cars and shredded the cars so that the American people would not know about the cars that could free us from foreign oil in 2004 they destroyed all the electric cars! So it is the plan of the Oil companies and the Auto companies to never bring bank a 100 percent electric car even though we have the technology to produce electric cars with over a 400 hundred range right now, because the automakers sell so many after market parts and do so many repairs to the cars we use today. The automakers do not care about the environment or gas prices because they will lose money if Americans become energy impendent by having its people drive all electrics cars. So they came up with the idea of making hybrids so that they could still keep us on oil and so that they could still sell their parts to cars!</p> We will never again see an all electric can in this country produced by the major Auto manufacture companies again like we did in 1996, because they know that they can not make as much money as they do with internal combustion engines.

DUDE. Who bought a EV-1 for 43,00 dollars????? Nobody. So they weren't sold for that. Valve regulated lead acid batteries do not cost $20,000. You are the one spreading excremental information. They turned down $1900.00 dollars so they could crush them for $0.0. There were legal issues of course. They had to watch their behinds. But, IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A CAR THAT DOESNT PASS FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The car's safety spec's were passed by the government before lease...its the law. You are full of glorious mis-information. I will pray for you before i go to bed and hope that people wont base, or strengthen, their judgments by considering your words.</p> To the guy that wrote the grip of words below mine. DUDE.

We in the electric car asociation take offense at Hollywood no-nothings spreading lies for profit about cars such as the EV-1, immortalized in the film, but a piece of crap in reality. If Chris Paine or Hanks had any balls they would debate the film's silly and implausible and typically Hollywood version of history. Perhaps one of these two liars (or lying Ed Begley) can explain how a car recently nominated by Time auto analysts as one of the worst 50 cars ever built, is in any significant way superior to the Detroit Electric, version 1907, built before WWI. The EV-1 was expensive ($43,000), with a long recharge time (8 hours), a battery pack that barely lasted 5 years yet cost over $20,000, a driving range that couldn't guarantee that you would reach a destination a mere 35 miles away and get back home, and didn't even meet all Federal safety regulations and could not legally be sold (the film claims GM was offered $1.9 million for the cars; that was about $1900 per vehicle, not enough to pay for half the battery pack)></p> I’m amazed that Hanks has the guts to even discuss electric cars after the pack of lies he spoke during
