Here we go again. Sound like Ronald Reagan? He did come from California. California did help kill the electric car known as the EV (for electric vehicle) back in 1998. At that time California mandated that 5% of autos sold in California get zero emissions by 2001 and 10% by 2008. GM developed a little electric vehicle, (the EV). They obviously had no intention of really developing and selling them. They leased them and after a bad battery was replaced by a very effective one, and after a very negative "Sales" campaign, managed to convince California they didn't work (Read Who Killed the Electric car? in this blog site). They recalled all of the EVs and crushed them. Well it's happening again.....
