Most of the companies talking about producing EVs are also talking about leasing the cars and particularly. in the beginning, limiting the distribution to government and similar agencies. This would make it easy for the EV companies to withdraw all the cars for some silly reason.

Hi Eric, thanks for the invite to join this site.

I really think that history could repeat itself and that's the main reason that I am converting my car to electric, rather than waiting for the car manufacturers to make them.  I thought that if I build my own no one can take it away from me!

However, I do beleive that TESLA are a respectable company and if they ever set up distribution of their EV's here in Australia, I would seriously consider buying one! - After the EV-1, I would not trust GM again - no way!!
