Smart May Go ForElectric
2008′s Paris Motor Show introduced a cavalcade of electric and battery operated automobiles to the public. One missing – a SMART Car electric vehicle. Thankfully, marketing manager for Smart USA Pitt Moos (yes, that is his real name) stated at the show: “Two years ago nobody said an electric vehicle was even possible, today everybody is saying, ‘We’re going to make one.”
Smart announced plans to build all-electric vehicles for Europe by the end of the decade. But it hasn’t said what its intentions are for the North American market.
Moos continued: “The challenge has always been the battery. We have just in the past couple of months become comfortable about a method of making lithium batteries for cars. Now some people are starting to quote Obama: Yes, we can.”
Guess we know which way the people at Smart swing when it comes to elections.
