Marty, throwing money at a problem will not solve it. It really does
not matter HOW much money GM spent, if folks don't want it, it becomes
an expensive learning experiance. Spending money can not make folks
want the product.

EV's will fit a very small fraction of commuters habits, folks are not
going to change habits to fit the car.
