    "All-Electric Cars built by manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, and Toyota in the 1990's have driving ranges of up to 120 miles, These 1990's cars use older, less capable battery technology than is available today."

    "Take the PLUG-IN PLEDGE and tell automakers you won't buy another car until you can plug it in and drive on electric only for at least 20 miles per charge."

    Cool running slide show of EVs from the past and upcoming:

    You may be surprised at how much effort and discussion goes into which cars to show in that slide-show!

    Sure, I can elaborate!

    Quite a bit of effort and discussion go into the decision of which cars are shown (and how to show them) in the slide show.

    Does that help? ;)

    Nice to hear that folks like it! I'll report the good news to Ted the PIA Web Dude - the guy who makes the site look so pretty.

    Par for the course for me, I guess. I could probably figure out how to say it in Italian... but other than that, I'm not sure what you're looking for. Was just sort of an idle comment about how that slide show doesn't happen by accident, and I'm glad people are enjoying it. Nothing deeper than that.

    I'm somewhat friendly with the PIA folks. Especially the really good-looking ones. :p

    Oh I see....... I though there was more meaning to it or something. :unsure:
