If YOU Were President, How Would You Recharge The Electric Vehicle Market?

Me neither, assuming we also stopped wasting money and protecting "non-green" energy and let the market decide whether it wants oil, natural gas, coal, solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, hydrogen, etc. at their true cost.

This would mean things like no laws limiting liability on oil-spill clean up (you made the mess, clean it up) because it makes insurance for oil companies artificially cheaper, and is kind of like giving them money. No eminent domain for drilling and mining interests, either; let 'em pay market rates for public and private property no matter how crazy it is that some dude with a one-room shack wants one billion dollars for his land.

And no wars to place and protect domestic fossil-fuel interests abroad; let 'em hire their own private military and pass the costs along to the consumer as they see fit.

We can't take back what we've already invested in making the fossil-fuel industry as well-established as it is, but moving forward, let's a least allow them to "walk" on their own.

AlleVier, it is very difficult to cure stupid. If the deaf, dumb and blind do not want to be leaned off of our dependence on oil then nothing short of the end of oil will change that. However now that there are practical (and fun) electric cars that use no oil, people have forfeited their right to complain about the cost of gasoline, automotive maintenance, global climate change, and health issues caused by pollution.

The bureaucrats that know absolutely nothing about the car business and who care little for the needs of consumers, need to stop throwing away our money. Vote these creeps out of office!

Let it die, let the Chinese waste subsidies on research and development, then we'll just reverse engineer their designs when the time is ripe for EV cars.

EV car technology is still in it's infancy. I think it is too big a leap right now to simply jump head first into them. I would continue to support two things.One is hybrid technology. I believe over time and continual development the electric hybrid drive will continue to to be improved and will eventually overtime dominate a vehicles power and propulsion over the gas engine.To me this is more natural way to do it and it is financially cheaper for automakers and suppliers to take this approach.Second I would also support new gasoline engine technologies such as direct injection,variable valve timing, multiair etc. to improve both power and economy.
