I mean, why would they when they are 'buddy-buddy' with the big oil company? Why make something that would make the average Joes like me happy? |
There are too many limitations in an electric car. They don't serve enough of the population well enough to justify the massive expenditure in R&D. The battery tech needed would cost a fortune by itself.
Hybrids are a logical step. They use existing technology that forklifts have used for ages and they already have the gasoline infrastructure in place to allow people freedom of movement, which is the point of a car, after all.
