What are you talking about? Of course they will. Especially if it (a) saves them money over gas, and (b) makes them feel better about environmentalism. Never underestimate (b), by the way. Toyota sure didn't. Maybe GM did. Lots of people, especially libtards, blame GM's failure on that. Ten, they may do it in CA, where doing so will be conflated with environmentalism. I don't doubt that. But they're not going to in most of the places around the country, I'm pretty sure they won't do it. A Nissan Leaf, you get closer to 100 miles, I can see that. But for 13 miles, I don't know ANYONE who would hassle with it. It would be like having to gas up your car every time you get in it. Nobody's going to do that. (One exception: My cousin, who is the tightest SOB I've ever met). Even my wife, who is exceptionally frugal, wouldn't do that. And imagine in locales where Winters are bad. No way.

Lots of people, especially libtards, blame GM's failure on that. Nooooo...that's incorrect. GM failed for many reasons, one of which is the failure to field a competent fuel efficient fleet. Lousy acquisitions, poor brand management, poor relative quality, incredibly boring midsize lineup, erratic/inconsistent introductions...too many bad business decisions to count....as well as poor low end....the only thing that worked was their trucks.
