Reply #52: They can't meet 35mpg without electric cars in the mix.

And the excuses about why they can't build them are falling on deaf ears. Except for the batteries, everything about electric should be easier to engineer and less expensive to build. Hell, they've been on notice for 35 years and were still beat to market with the hybrids by the Japanese and, until last year, were still claiming we wouldn't buy either hybrids for pure electric cars.
