Its funny this thing will cost $80,000 to $120,000. It has been reported that it cost GM about $80,000 to build each copy of the EV1, causing them to lose at least $50,000 on each copy. (since they were lease only cars, they probably lost more)
It will be interesting to see if all these freaks who are mad at GM for not continuing to build a money-losing car will pony up the $80,000 bucks to buy one of these. It's my feeling that they only want an electric car if its subsidized by someone else. Most everyone believes that Toyota loses money on every Prius too. It would be interesting to see what would happen if car companies charged the true cost of the cars (like Tesla is doing)instead of the enviros getting their rides subsidized by the manufacturers and by tax deductions.

well perhaps we could easily afford that subsidy if we redirected the 150 billlion dollars that it is estimated are spent in all ways that subsidise oil. THis figure was listed in that article on forms of new energy in the most recent economist (writing this 7/18/08). appearently the figure is not usually even calculated but was requested recently by the department of energy head.
