The transition awaits the electric bullet train intercity network which will eliminate long haul white-knuckle car driving, jet aircraft flying both at once and promote the usability of the short haul plug-in electric car – only the American Military Machine will require foreign oil to operate, cutting budgets for oil enormously, Reserving oil for Military purposes, a good thing! We Americans will share a very much larger portion of world's finite resources with Asians as their empire grows! Someone will do without and it is us! The weakening dollar says so! Our dollar can no longer command the 80% of world's resources required to maintain our Status Quo! We will give up much for this fact! A stronger Yuan competes with us as we speak! Even Mercedes with its new 40% more efficient diesel blue TEC engine, clean enough for California is going to give GM(America) competition – simple fact: they built a better engine! America is in deep Ka-Ka and sinking fast! What the Hell happened to our “Superiority” our “Entitlement”? Why are we no longer the “Chosen Ones” of this world? Will we see Third World rubble like the former U.S.S.R.” SEE: http://uprooted.jessicareeder.com/2009/09/detro... and weep! We are there, now!

I Think people are missing the boat on electric cars. I commute 70 miles round trip a day to work and do not use the car for anything else. I could care less which of the two cars is more successful just get them to the market so we have a choice. I drive a Ford Escape Hybrid and will buy the Plug-In version as soon as it hits the market sometime in 2010. www.FliteRecord.com

“… driven by celebrities, journalists, and a few well-heeled early adopters.”
haha, who are you trying to kid? They would drive it once for show and tell then it would be put up in the shoe closet. These people drive SUV's, Limo's, and fly in private jets, just like Big Al.
