We Want Electric Cars

So I have been gauging my mileage per day.  I wanted to see what I would need to have a commuter electric car.  Lets face it the damn thing has to at least make it to work and back.  The icing on the cake would betting me to vacation points.

On average I would need 80 miles per day.  That means most of the electric cars they are looking at building or are building would be fine if they are at 150 miles per charge.  That is pretty exciting to me because I could live with it.  I could do it.  Granted we would need a gas car to get to other states for vacations but hey it is a start and I would be willing to do

I am so sick of these politicians running our lives while their investments are in big oil.  These higher up polititions have no idea how the average person lives.  Why do I say that?  What makes me think that?  Lets see.

1. They do not have to pay health insurance out of their paychecks.  Their health insurance coverage is much different then ours.  They have no concept of reality here.  How can you think they are going to help you when they have no idea how it is to PAY for the coverage.
2. Do you really think the politicians you know about, read about, or love actually PAY for their gas?  Do you think these people PAY for their car they drive to work in or drive to the fundraiser in actually PAY for it?  How about they give the tax money to those that they are visiting??

I do not see how an important out spoken politician could every understand the place Americans are in at this time.  Why go to bat for the American people when they can make so much money not doing that?

You need to ask yourself what can I do to change these things and avoid them, the politicians, getting in my way of what I know is the better choice.

It looks like the electric cars magic year is 2010.  Why do I say that?  Because when you look at manufactures this is the release year.  Is it suspicious that most have this year?  To me currently hell yes but this is what we have to go on right now.

Why can’t they invest is the batteries to run the electric cars and make money that way?  Why can’t they invest in the opportunities that exist in charging stations?

Come on people on capital hill lets mix it up and give the future a chance.   You know we almost had it back in 1996. Wink.  You know what I am talking about…. EV1 anyone?  Or better yet Zero Emission Vehicle (”ZEV”) mandate anyone??
