Putting Electric Cars on the Road

I’m afraid you gave a very misleading and false impression of electric cars in your editorial. Here are the facts:

1) Although Detroit may not be producing electric cars, our small company is currently producing and selling them!

2) Our electric cars are not cumbersome, quite the contrary, they’re fun to drive.

3) Our electric cars can easily run up freeway ramps and even maintain freeway speeds.

4) 90% of all second-car driving is under 21 miles per day, making today’s electrics feasible for about half of all driving needs.

5) Our cars are affordable ($10,000 to $15,000) and available for purchase now.
