There is no need to explain economies of scale, its a concept I understand well, apparently better than you. It isn't an idea that is going to keep electric cars from being more expensive without a breakthrough in electric storage technology What you don't realize is that right now our government is giving subsidies in the form of tax credits for small businesses to purchase large SUV vehicles. The deduction for vehicles over 3 tons, has been scaled back. That doesn't stop it from being a bad idea, but the main points are 1 - Its not something I don't realize, and 2 - Its not very relevant to any of my points. I don't support any such targeted tax benefits. So don't tell me we shouldn't give subsidies to electric vehicle purchasers, when we our government is actively supporting sales of the behemoth cars that GM sells, even when the consumers no longer want them. We shouldn't give subsidies or large targeted tax benefits to either. Again you are being very hypocritical at the worst or just ignorant at the least. Again your making personal attacks that are both false and irrelevant.
