But sales are up:
"Sales of the plug-in hybrid car are up 272 percent since last year,
but are below initial expectations when GM launched the Volt in late
2010, followed by its near-identical version for Europe, the Opel
Ampera"

They give percentages, not real numbers. If they sold one last year
and three this year, the percentage is great. But the sales still
sucks.

There is a big increase in the sales of plug-in-hybrids.

That is the way to go until real electrical vehicles are ready to take over.

The plug-in-hybrid-prius is a very attractive alternative.

At the same time there are a lot of interesting real electrical vehicles appearing.

The BMW electric is really interesting.

Will GM come out with an electrical vehicle?

Will it be belieavable?

Too bad that innovator guy in California had to charge so much for his
controller board. He had a car with two electric motors in the back
that
could really make an electric move. But without the board we back yard
innovators can forget it.
