I appreciate you putting the information about Georgia's incentives because I wondered what the payoff would be if I went out and got one today.I was interested in buying a hybrid vehicle but knew that I couldn't afford one just yet. I'm hoping that in the near future they become more affordable as the car companies change over to more lines of hybrid and electric vehicles.
I would be very open to owning a hybrid, electric, fuel efficient, etc. car. I am sure the tax break is an incentive for some people to make the purchase. Maybe some of the recent economic activities will result in more efficient cars being purchased for fear of another rise in gas prices.
Thanks for the interesting presentation...I wonder what you, having done the research, think of EVs now? I'm frustrated with the hype...have heard that after you factor in the battery and the electricity, they are actually worse for the environment. But then, that's what I've heard...don't really know. I think I would do the biodiesel thing before going electric...
I would have never imagined telling my grandchildren of the old days when we had to go to the gas station and pay $4 a gallon for gas. I am very interested in seeing how the future with EV's plays out. I actually went to a Science conference and they had one that you could test drive. I wonder how the insurance companies will determine the cost of insurance and if the batteries will have at least a 3 year warranty.
The electric car is going to replace fuel driven cars in our life time for sure. Since the gas prices increased, I have seen so many people driving hybrids and economy cars. Gas will continue to increase and the demand of EV’s is going to go up. The 4-8 hours of charging time is definitely an issue in comparison to less than five minutes to fill the tank with gas. However, I would still consider an electric car if it was competitively priced. I cannot believe it is going to take until 2025 for electric cars to become comparable in price to fuel driven cars. That seems way to long, especially when the environment would benefit greatly.
Love the concept, and feel that alternative is the way to move in the auto industry, with the hoes riding on hydrogen fuel cells in the future,as opposed to the current electrics. The problem right now, as is always the problem, we are fickle consumers. The price of 4.00 a gallon just two months ago is a distant memory to me getting gas for 1.36 tonight. Although I enjoy the lower prices, and its less burden on my family, it is the high prices that will drive the us consumer to force electrics onto the road. Until we as a populace buy into the idea, it'll remain an expensive idea. Thanks for the presentation, really enjoyed it.
With the upcoming automobile industry bailout, congress should demand an increase in electric cars. Since the big three are asking for tax dollars, the public has a right to ask for cheaper, more energy efficient cars. This is an opportunity to help the economy and the environment.
This was a great presentation that had a lot of valuable information. I have been wondering what the US was going to do with the electric cars, and the incentives. Maybe when it is time for me to purchase a new car, it will be an electric car - if it is more affordable. I like to drive long distances, so for it to only go 150 miles on one charge is a pretty big negative for me right now.
Thanks for the information. I have been researching this topic for about a year because I would like to purchase an EV. Georgia is so far behind compared to states like California and Hawaii. Great presentation.
I would love to purchase an electric car. However, I cannot afford this car at its current price and maintence fees. I know that purchasing these cars can help save our ozone layer, and the environment. Perhaps, scientist can come up with a way of making them cost efficient. With our economy taking a decline, no one can afford to spend more money in maintaining a vehicle. Even though it is not environmentally friendly, right now the gasoline vehicles sound like the more cost-effective choice.
Interesting presentation. I have wanted a hybrid car for a while now. I am still waiting for the price to come down more. I agree that 2025 is a very long time for the electric cars to be affordable for average consumers. Maybe they will be out sooner than that. I think that they are good ideas, and will be better for the environment - from what I have read. I really enjoyed learning more about them from your presentation. Thanks, Sharon
