NO here is how you bail them out
NO here is how you bail them out. GM here is 25 billion. NO WAIT here is 50 billion I am feeling generous.
BUT here are our terms. 4 door midsize econobox (NO features. Heat Air and hell a cassete player if you must)
FULLY electric. 100mile drop dead range (fill it with people gear turn EVERYTHING ON) 150mile typical range.
Cost to consumer LESS than $12,000 warranty 100,000 mile 150,000 mile all EV components with an expected battery life of 250,000miles and a replacement cost of $4500 (note ALMOST ALL of this was already achieved 10 years ago with the EV1 all of it except the the 4 door requirement)
You must do this within 2 years.
The government needs only do ONE THING to make this possible. Revoke the NIMH patent that Chevron holds.
Thats it.
