Not directly on topic, but having to do with the misleading info being put out there.
I ran across this comment in a story. (It also had the comment about how low Miev sales are.)
-------------------------------------------------------
Another black eye came last month from Kelley Blue Book, which released a study showing that electrics tend not to hold their value as well as conventional models. The Chevy Spark EV will sell for 28% of its $28,305 list price after five years, while the gasoline-driven Spark will hold 40% of its value, the research group said.
-------------------------------------------------------
If one actually does the math, (at least in CA) the EV car would be worth 43% of it's actual cost after rebates & credits. That of course is assuming that their value assumption in 5 yrs is at all correct. And from an economic perspective (ignoring all the green issues) that doesn't take into account any of the savings in fuel & maintenance over those 5 yrs. The forces trying to keep the masses driving ICE vehicles are sure working hard! Unfortunately, too many of the consumers believe them.
