How much longer can they afford such subsidies? Besides, the electricity that substitutes for liquid fuels has to be generated. On balance there is no energy benefit relative to oil, and little or no benefit in reducing production of greenhouse gases. The vehicles will continue to face consumer resistance because of their high cost (even after subsidies) and performance limitations. I think electric cars do have a future &#8212; because of the immense government-driven policies to promote them, improving battery performance, and lower production"}
