Would you boycott automakers until they make electric autos?

Question

The only way to force automakers to manufacture reasonablly

priced electric cars is by giving them no options. This can be

accomplished by boycott of their present production, until they

submitt to our will. GO GREEN NOW. Independence day,is a

good time to start this boycott. On their own they will continue

production of internal combustion engine vehicles,until their is

no oil left in the earth. We must stop them. They are not unlike

the terriosts who poison and kill. They are only after money,and will kill us all if allowed to continue. They have known the path they take is wrong. Their own children will be

destroyed,but money comes first.

Answer 1

Can I keep using my current car? Because if I have to take the bus I will never get to see my kid.

Answer 2

You can always go out and buy an electric forklift or golf cart.

Answer 3

I am boycotting automakers till they go out of business! I ride public transit or my bike or use my legs and walk and on rare occasions I am in someonelse's car. Electric vehicles have to get power from somewhere and if you look at where that somewhere likely is it will be a coal burning power plant or nuclear power which makes waste that is horribly destructive and won't go away for many many many many many years. Plus it takes power to make the cars and design the technologies and that probably comes from the same places.

Answer 4

Go green now?

who is that electricity produced?

Oh forgot that tid bit didn't you.

Answer 5

Electric cars are still in it's beginning stages. Therefore, the average person couldn't afford one. How many people do you know drive $100,000 cars? The automakers need to find a ways to manufacture electric cars so they can be affordable.

We need to start by boycotting the oil companies first. Take the bus, walk, ride your bike, even if the gas prices come down.

Answer 6

Not really cause

.. . ..

The battery in them is only good for about 3,500 hours and you have to buy a new $5,000 battery

.. .. ..

And you can not go on vacation any more cause the batteries operation times start to deteriorate whit the more it is recharged to use

.. . ..

So what use to be a 6 hour battery in the mid life crises of its life it will be only 4 1/2 hours

Till it is dead time

.. ..

It took a while, but the big automakers are finally seeing the writing on the wall and going electric.

Answer 8

Boycott?? Boycott means, not buying, and that's kind what is already happening.  You don't have to get all organized about it.  Personally, I'm waiting for one of the following to come into production:  #1) The Venture One.  #2)  The Honda CRZ.  #3) The Loremo.  #4 The Toyota ABAT.

Answer 9

yeah lets boycott the largest industry in the country. not a bad idea. we can destroy that industry, and that will collapse the US economy once and for all. good idea, NOT.

if you want th automakers to build plug in hybrid cars, get together with your friends, and everyone else that wants a plug in hybrid, and send the automakers a flood of letters indicating that you want these types of vehicles. and then go out and BUY THEM. remember that in the mid 80's ford was going to replace the mustang with a front drive car built at the mazda flatrock plant in michigan. ford motor company received something like 100,000 letters telling ford in on uncertain terms that would be a stupid idea, some even going so far as to question the parentage of some of the ford executives.

if 100,000 letters can save the mustang, you can bet that 100,000 letters would get plug in hybrids on the market faster than planned.
