GAO Says Cars Aren't Quite Ready for Road Tests
The GAO reports the Energy Department should delay a 1986 goal of 10 000 electric and hybrid vehicles on public roads. It says current models cost too much and lack range and vigor, urging private fleet subsidies wait until better technology is developed. The plan includes 200 cars this year at 27 000 each with 10 000 for management consulting.
