The city just doesn't get it, it's the high taxes that are driving the people out.

U.S. drivers slow to embrace all-electric vehicles
By Nathan Bomey, Detroit Free Press Updated 9h 55m ago


DETROIT -- All-electric vehicles that you plug-in overnight are a tough sell with drivers afraid of becoming stranded with few charging stations in operation across the nation.

All-electric vehicles that need to be plugged in to charge haven't quite caught on with American audiences yet.
Consumers want hybrids that combine gas with battery power, such as the Toyota Prius, or that plug in but have a backup gas tank, such as the Chevrolet Volt.
That sentiment is reflected in the latest market numbers.
Sales of the all-electric Nissan Leaf, which can travel about 75 miles on a single overnight charge, plummeted 69 percent in June from a year earlier. Meanwhile, sales of various models of Toyota Prius hybrids are selling as fast as the automaker can ship them.
The Volt is still not an overwhelming success, but sales for the first half of 2012 more than tripled from a year earlier to 8,817.
"I can't grasp the concept of driving 20 or 30 miles, or whatever the range is on the car, and then having to plug in again," said Dennis Barrera, sales manager at Suburban Toyota in Troy, where the standard Prius hybrid is "still the most asked-about car (among shoppers) walking through the door."
Also factoring in are advances to the tried-and-true gasoline engine, increasing fuel efficiency often at a lower price than the electric alternatives.
Ask anyone who has replaced a 12-year-old pickup, or a 15-year-old SUV with a new version of the same general size. The new engine weighs less. The transmission has more speeds, enabling smoother shifting and wasting less gas.
Turbochargers and fuel injectors get more performance from every drop of petrol. For most people, especially when they're paying less than $4 a gallon, that's good enough.
2015 goal in doubt(AT)
President Barack Obama set a goal of getting 1 million plug-in hybrids and all-electrics on U.S. roads by 2015. The administration pumped billions of dollars in loans and grants into battery technology companies, but now, some of the recipients are sitting on more capacity than the market wants..............................>>>>..........................>>>>.....................................http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/story/2012-07-08/us-electric-car-sales/56100660/1

But not in Schenectady! With the $7 MILLION DEM deficit these morons continue walking the Tonko Green line. The total lack of leadership is scary. McCheese has a plan? lol. Right more taxes and more City lob hiring. Wake up already and make The Commis Police Chief and end cell phone/car abuse.

Maybe Mayor McClueless has a plan.

Buy brand new electric cars for every City employee (securing future votes).

The savings in gas for the long-distance City-employee-commuter will ALMOST cover the crazy auto insurance coverage for the accident-prone City employees.

There is already a station at the Nisky Shoprite....how much 'business' does that do? Probably little to none.

I stood in the spot for a while and nothing happened....I was going to wave over the guy on the bike collecting the bottles
and cans....thought maybe he could have used some juice to continue on his merry way....

"He (McCarthy) wants to apply for a state grant to install six electric car chargers around City Hall and the downtown area, at a cost to the city of $12,000."

In the Gazetto yesterday, it was 'reported' that the Niskayuna board has partnered with Price Chopper and THREE electric charging stations will be at the PC in the Commons.

So, WHY DOES IT COST THE CITY TAXPAYERS $12,000 WHEN NISKY IS DOING IT FOR FREE!!!!

I really hate McCheesy....

Will be as popular as the charging stations at Shop Wrong. If you need a parking spot pull in there. These City DEMS ate too many paint chips. What about the McCheese deficit? Crickets chirping. No one knows from nuthin. Another big yuck is the joke DEM primary for City Council. Talk about dumb and dumber. Neither has a degree-neither has any private sector experience. Two more DEM morons looking to pad huge public pensions.
