The car manufacturing companies in the U.S. are coming out with hybrids and not all electric cars.

1. Do they feel that nobody would buy an all electric car?                                                                                                                  2. Do they think the hybrid a safe way to   go?                                                                                                                 3. Is this a good way to make the transition from IC engines to electric by combining the two systems?

It would seem to me that if the car manufactures could save a lot of money by eliminating the gas/diesel engines and pass a portion of the savings on to the consumer and sell the car for less.                                                    Granted, the car companies have a large investment in tooling of the IC engine, transmission, cooling system, exhaust system, pollution controll system, etc.  But, couldn’t they recover a large amount by converting their tooling to the building of batteries  and electric motors? Or, is it that the oil companies, because of environmental pressure, will allow the hybrid to be built.

Remember, hybrids use oil products and the oil companies can just raise the prices at the pump and recover the same amount of big profits by selling less.

The small manufacturing companies, that are building all electric vehicles, are of very little threat to the oil companies because, these small organizations do not have the wherewithal to make cars in numbers so the price for these small amount of cars is more than the average person can afford.
