Also find it funny that everyone lumps all 3 automakers into one group. Remember Ford did not take any bailout money. I was also looking around and found that Ford is in the viability stages of plug in hybrid. They have a working Escape PHEV and are testing its reliability in concert with Pacific Edison. The new CEO of Ford has been turning Ford around for almost 2 years now and I personally think they are on the right track. The are alos close to producing a plug-in fuel cell hybrid. They have two working models, the Edge and the Focus, being tested right now.

Take one of those small cars that are approved. Dump the I.C. junk & replace it with a E. setup.

I am getting tired of you people who hate the US companies. So please, have some integrity in your reporting and state that the Japanese companies were beat to the market also by the Chinese who have no real regulations holding them back.

“the US needs to suspend crash testing procedures on all plug in electric autos to get them into the mainstream of transportation and to add a new classificaton for mid range electric cars.”

Well, see that in itself could cause problems with sales. They might become stigmatized as unsafe, I could see the rumors now, “You know why the gov’t doesn’t make EVs submit to crash tests? …Because blah blah blah…”

The big three need to build things like this. That bailout money (tax dollars) better go towards it.
