The EV1 cost GM 1 billion to develop.  It was a tiny 2 seater with too many compromises to me a "regular" car.  It was sold at a loss (about $40k based on the lease price) over 10 years ago and the estimates true cost to build is around $80k.  <br>You will note this compares well the the Tesla that has a similar chassis/design but a more expensive motor/battery combination and cost around $120k to build(also sold at a loss).<br>So electric cars loose the range and size compared to gas cars for some 5 times the cost.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fastm3driver]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2009 5:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on San Francisco City Hall gets its own electric vehicle charging stations]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/san-francisco-city-hall-gets-its-own-electric-vehicle-charging-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/san-francisco-city-hall-gets-its-own-electric-vehicle-charging-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[these battery powered cars are for sissys.  i want a nuclear powered car.<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Nucleon" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Nucleon</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[homer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 19th 2009 5:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on San Francisco City Hall gets its own electric vehicle charging stations]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/san-francisco-city-hall-gets-its-own-electric-vehicle-charging-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/san-francisco-city-hall-gets-its-own-electric-vehicle-charging-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nuclear isn't the way to go.
