Electric Vehicles…Sci-Fi or coming in 2010?

Have you ever searched for a fuel efficient vehicle to find that there are only hybrids and “fuel efficient mpg” vehicles in America?  I have and it’s frustrating when in other countries like Denmark even (see some neat videos about the Persu Vehicle at www.flytheroad.com) , there are truly electric vehicles that do not rely solely on the oil industry.

Are American automakers out of touch when it comes to what Environmentally and Pocket book conscious Americans want?  Maybe not, maybe they are only lagging behind.  To find EV’s or Electric Vehicles to come in America, you have to know where to look.  For example, if you want an Electric Jeep like I do, you cannot search via typical websites like www.jeep.com, you have to actually visit the Chrysler website and search in there for maybe a LLC (Limited Liability Company) and then find a sub company, like in Chrysler’s case a company called ENVI, to see their green auto prototypes like the 2010 EV Jeep Unlimited.  https://www.chryslergroupllc.com/en/innovation/envi/overview/.

My question is, why do American Auto Makers tend to “hide” or “split off” another company just because it is green or not oil industry friendly?  Just a thought.  I will try to do some more search to post under more examples of green automakers in America and other countries.  Stay tuned…
