Given your thesis here, why do you think electric cars such as the chevy volt and nissan leaf have had such disappointing sales numbers? I was hoping that those two cars would be the beginning of a mainstream adoption of electric cars, but the car-buying public seems not to have embraced them. Curious if you had any thoughts why?

Because they suck.

Specifically their range - you must appease consumer's range anxiety otherwise you have a golf cart on your hands. Tesla does this.

Furthermore have you seen those cars? They are essentially undifferentiated from their ICE counterparts.

How does the Chevy Volt not do this?

>They are essentially undifferentiated from their ICE counterparts.

What would you suggest? Furthermore, if a certain gizmo sell cars, wouldn't you use them to sell all your cars?
