<div>If the "Big Manufacturors" provide EVs for sell then this forum has worked well. It is possible to do it yourself and make an EV work well as has been proven by many here in these forums. The market has changed because of those of us with know how proved it can be done. There is no need for America to import a half a million dollars of oil per minute as was done in 2009 to supply our energy needs. Natural Gas is plentiful in the USA. Converting your own vehicle to EV will always be an interesting and possibly cheaper method of operation, with thanks to give to the founders of these forums. </div>
