why you ready to buy one? <GG> They are all hiring and I see them around but not mass produced except the tesla which just barely started. The GM has the volt electric which is supposed to be very good. The local electric car companies want the volt to succeed to solidify the market, but they think the volt pricing is too low. I have never seen the volt. Here are the local ones: fiskerautomotive.com teslamotors.com wrightspeed.com milesev.com (santa monica, LA area) phoenixmotorcars.com (another LA) porteon.net (looks like still in stealth) aptera.com <- My favorite haha THen there are some like REVA and Zap who are making cars for the indian market and some lower end markets, those are the traditional golfcart looking electric cars. charger company better place.... betterplace.com Bay Area mayors endorse $1 billion plan for electric cars By Matt Nauman Mercury News Posted: 11/20/2008 10:32:24 AM PST A Palo Alto start-up with powerful backing on Thursday unveiled an ambitious $1 billion plan to help make the Bay Area the nation's electric-car capital. Endorsed by all three of the Bay Area's big city mayors, the plan would provide the re-charging infrastructure that must be in place before most consumers would consider buying or leasing an electric car. Better Place, headed by former high-tech executive Shai Agassi, plans to install about 250,000 charging ports, 200 battery-exchange stations and a control center to service Bay Area electric car drivers. The goal is to have most of the system in place by 2012. mercurynews.com
