Oil was 10 in the late 90-s, and the range of electric car
was poor due to poor battery technology. It is still poor.
The all-electric technology is also too expensive for the mass
market. EV1 was not commercially viable, could not possibly be.
Too bad GM and F pursued Hybrid for gas guzzlers. Hybrid gas
guzzlers do eat less gas, but they still eat a lot.

Chevy Volt does look good on paper, since the gas engine
extends its range. The delay is due to battery technology -
it is still "not there" for an electric car.
