....or at least an electric car manufactured-for-hire in Malaysia by Proton (parent of Lotus Cars, UK) with a Detroit Electric electric drive line, optional equipment and name tag, even though the company is headquartered in the UK.

The original Detroit Electric (pic of a 1914 model (http://www.eaaev.org/History/images/DetroitElectric1915.jpg)) was Thomas Edison's favorite car way back when EV's made up 1/3 of the US car market in the early 1900's.

The new incarnation of Detroit Electric is to announce this week a compact 4-door with a range of 180 kilometers (110 miles) for between $24,000 and $26,000. An extended-range option (Volt-like) will go 320 kilometers (200 miles) and cost $4k - $5k more. DE also plans to make a hatchback.

By 2012 DE plans to sell more than 270,000 EV's in Europe, UK, China and the US.

E-REV's will dominate until quick charge batteries and its accompanying infrastructure is built out, at least at a city scale.

I agree, which is why E-Flex was a good concept - the 'range extender' can be a generator, fuel cell or even a high capacity ESU of some kind if/when they come along. The key is the "Flex"ibility.

Looks like your question thing at the end of the post worked. Also not having to sign in is nice too. Good job. Nice list. Thanks.
