Reinvent the Wheel

NYT reports that Ford is going to build an electric plug-in car. What an idea! I seem to remember that GM had the EV-1 ten years ago! The other car companies had plug-ins too (like the electric Rav4 and the Ford Ranger). But that was so 1999. Now, the companies are trying to start from scratch - and complaining about how hard it is, and how there's no consumer demand, and introducing them with a faux rollout at the Auto Show by parking them on the side streets.

Make sure you've seen Who Killed the Electric Car - this will all sound very familiar.
