It’s hard for people who read Gas2 to believe, but a recent survey of 2,500 people by Altman Vilandrie & Co. finds that 60% of Americans are totally unaware that electric cars with plugs actually exist. 80% have never driven or ridden in one. Whose fault is that? Last week, we called out the auto companies for spending next to nothing on advertising for their electric and plug-in products. The car makers have spent little if anything on charging infrastructure. Their dealers hide the cars out back and try to switch people who ask about them to a conventional car instead.
There appears to be a conspiracy of silence among manufacturers...
