Default Electric car rivalry

There is speculation that the rivalry between Nissan and Chevy regarding their electric vehicles could distract car buyers, possibly causing fewer purchases than they had hoped.

I really can't see these being big sellers for either company, until they can prove to their customers that there are facilities for powering up their cars. Without electric service stations, placed at regular intervals, people just won't feel secure buying one of these cars.

I agree with Candle. I am holding tight to my old Chevy because I want to go green with my next car. I would like an electric one because of the great incentives, but I need to know that it is easy to recharge.

I know that having a "Chevy" is an All-American type of thing, but I am leaning towards the Nissan - sorry!

An interesting article. I like the term "range anxiety". Most of the questions I hear about these new green cars have to do with how far they can go on a charge. I think range is less of an issue than people think, because of the gas engine back up.
