| PRODUCTION EVs for sale, lease, or rent
Automakers are currently not
producing EVs and are waiting until 2003 to see the outcome of GM's suit
against
CARB.
Automakers are moving fast to sell
fcvs
instead of EVs. These will run on hydrogen (H2) from the oil companies
or methanol from the coal and natural gas interests (methanol fcs will
release CO2).
