Primed Electric Car Market
Electric Cars. Who doesn’t want or need them, now! Today’s market that is demanding alternative fuel automotives and a product that can meet these needs just happens to be conveniently ‘on scheduled’ to hit stores 2010. However, the year prior, the Big Three, larger automotive production companies, request more funding from the government than ever before. And for what? “In order to survive.” Now really, is this to continue doing business as usual which put you in your current financial crisis you claim? I think even worse. To the milk industry so empty by limiting product line and still pushing the same fuel efficient SUV’s is their goal until they tire. I currently work for Chrysler Financial, just the financing section of the company, and my job is uncertain. But whose job isn’t in this recession. I am not too upset, only in question why it took so long to develop a product that the market as been demanding since gas peaks in 2005. Generally speaking, I personally believe these larger companies either unified to fail together with the anticipation of a bailout, or were to slow to adapt to the obliviously changing market that this caught the most intelligent business minds off guard. Either way such a business doesn’t deserve to continue as usual, not according to my standards. I guess I should plan to fire myself as well.
But enough of my personal option, here are some facts. The EV, electric vehicle, was invented long time ago; try over 100 years ago, perfected around 1884 in London. Only gasoline in America was less expensive and with faster refuel times outsold the innovation with its competitor large production company, Ford. But that was then, this is now. The 2010 market is ready now, of course. It almost seems primed, somehow as if the true profits are in waiting until people cry out after spending every last ‘cut-cost’ product modification like hybrids, when the EV technology long ago existed. I guess that is just business. My only predicament is that the public should have choices, options, and control over its future. Most people would most likely have preferred gasoline anyway rather then plugging in EV’s, but still maybe some people would have taken the other electric alternative even though it was more of a hassle. Monopoly, its what I'm after. Well, really its prevention, its not the American way. America thrives on business competition, not manipulation. Just as Microsoft had its run in with the law, by controlling the industry with 3rd party licensing, so should the Big Three and fuel import, be closely monitored by government for potential fall outs and monopolies that the crash economies, cause social change and instability, and lead to indefinite recessions. Logically, the government would deem a compromised house inhabitable to protect its citizens; likewise government should deem certain market practices unsafe to protect people. In my opinion, something this close to the American way of life should not be so privately owned.
