Toyota lot deserted -- need plug-in car - tape 2

All you had to do was say $42,000, and he's out of there!

See this is why there are no EVs. You are clearly the first person to ask these guys an EV question. That shows you how little interest the general public has in EVs.

You know darn well if more people had gone to the dealership asking about EVs, the dealers would be calling up demanding they make one. That's actually why the Escalade was made. Dealers noticed the success of the Navigator, and demanded Cadillac made a similar vehicle.

Actually, one of our campaigns is to do just that. But the penetration of EVs wss so small, there are like 100 dealers who never heard of EVs for each EV.

And Toyota was courteous, GM would not let us on the lot.

Hey lovepontiac, go google lion electric vehicles. You will find 30K EVs. The max tested range is 456 miles. Or watch the vid on my channel. If converted EVs can cost 30K with 456 mile range, why can't GM make a 20K EV with 456 mile range?

The first RAV4EV(er) he has seen in 6 years while working for such a big (for europe) dealership?

Well I am waiting for the EV Loremo (see my channel) And I have hope that they build it because the business structure of the company is different than conventional company's. They are going to sell the car but do not build a own dealer network and garages and all that need to be paid by servicing your car and make money on that.

What is the servicing plan on a RAV4EV if I may ask?

The servicing is mainly rotating the tires, but some things do go wrong -- the rectifier/inverter, which is used by the magnecharger input port; sometimes a fan; in one case, the battery pack was replaced, but not sure why, and in another, supposedly the battery pack was damaged by the heat.
