can not we do it again?

Answer 1

Yep and they sold about as well as the Ford Edsel.

Answer 2

Ed Begley Jr. has been the laughing stock of Hollywood for 20 years because He insisted on driving an electric car.

And it is only now that other celebrities have began to also drive Electric.

I find that most cars on the road are only carrying one or two people, and only drive less than 30 miles a day.

By converting to smaller two passenger electric cars, we could not only reduce the congestion on the commuter highways in the metropolitan areas but at the same time reduce the hte emission for many of the Internal combustion engines.

Answer 3

Yes, we are doing it again .. it's only a matter of time.  

Answer 4

Yep, back in the teens and 20s.  the problem was then what it is now, recharging them

Answer 5

We still do.  They're making a huge comeback.

Answer 6

Yes, we are doing it again .. it's only a matter of time.

Watch a documentary called Who Killed The Electric Car

It's so good

Answer 7

We still have them. There's a shop in my neighborhood that uses them for deliveries.

Answer 8

I drive an E bike

Answer 9

Yes, we still have them  EVEN IN OH CANADA.. ( LOL)

One way to enter the electric car market, is through the high end, as Tesla or Venturi have done: offer high-performance vehicles with a high-end price tag -- electric vehicle as status symbol. Another way to enter is through the low end. Offer an inexpensive, low-speed vehicle that is good for lugging groceries. The ZENN (Zero Emissions No Noise) car is one such offering, and it is manufactured in St. Jerome, Quebec, by Feel Good Cars of Toronto.

LET ALONE CANADIAN DESIGNED CARS

There are not many Canadian designed and built cars, let alone Canadian designed electric cars.

I think its the way to go.. We need TESLAS AND OTHERS WHO REALLY CAN PUT TOGETHER AN ELECTRIC CAR FOR OUR DAILY USE IN A HI SPEED WORLD

Terrific Question..

Starred.

Answer 10

Yes and did you know the first car to go 60 mph was electric?

Answer 11

Yes, watch the movie "Who killed the Electric Car" I got it at Blockbuster. We have all kinds of technology that we're not using because the people who control corporate America would lose to much money if things saved us working class people money.
