What is the availability of EVs in the US?
As of 2009, there are no light-duty electric vehicles made by major auto manufacturers. However, several niche manufacturers will be releasing light-duty electric vehicles for public availability sometime in 2010. There are currently many neighborhood electric vehicles (HEVs) in production and used to a variety of applications such as neighborhood commuting, light hauling, and delivery. Another niche application includes electric scooters and bikes.
