Good point with the vapourware-wariness, but as far as government subsidies go electric vehicles is where some money should be going. Especially when compared to the billions given to companies like GM who were either unable or unwilling to adapt even when facing bankruptcy
They have, after all, been promising big things for many years now, and so far delivered nothing other than an overpriced sports car for the rich and impractical.
They've also been soaking up a lot of government subsidies at all levels to produce their rich-bastard sports car, which ought to bother folks.
