California killing the electric car…again?

CDsDontBurn · Mar 30, 2008, 03:55 AM

California and the electric car. Is this deja vu all over again? You probably know the story of the first round of electric vehicles made for the California market, and then their demise over a decade ago. You may not recall it was action by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) that allowed the big auto manufacturers to stop makking those early electric cars. The makers had only LEASED the electric cars so they re-possessed them from crying drivers and had them crushed.
