I also agree with everything he said although I don't agree with the attitude of "if its broke, abandon it instead of trying to fix the problem" cooling issues might have been an issue but they were hardly insurmountable and the end result is several years of lost research and product development

Interesting that he only barely touches on Frankenplug. I don't follow this writer but it seems he's reasonably well informed (compared to many journalists) about EVs.
I wonder if he realizes that Fiat is essentially in the Frankenplug camp along w/a bunch of others who don't seem to have a serious EV program (except for BMW).
