I absolutely agree with you. If a bunch of high school kids can do it, why can't an automotive company build an electric car? Electric cars are less complex, have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance.

Car makers need to realize that there is a market for these vehicles. A car with a range of 75 miles is more than adequate for the vast majority of drivers. Car makers will argue that the battery technology is not ready...tell that to RAV-4 EV owners who are driving 10 year old SUVs with over 100k on the odometer (using NiMH batteries).

Someone please help us!
