Cashing In on the Electric Transport Boom [View article]
I worked on the original prototype Bill of Material for the EV! at GM. The real reason it got cancelled is because the suppliers didn't want it then and don't want it now. At that time there was something like 20,000 parts in a 5.7 liter corvette Bill of Material and only a few hundred parts to make up the motor and batteries for the EV1 so you do the math. If you can give GM $25 billion to give $24 billion to the executives at GM.. I guess they will do you a favor and remake an electric car and screw the suppliers. Wagner just got a 40% pay increase two months ago which brings him to $17 million a year. At some point we should figure it out, the money only goes to the executives at GM not the employes. If you are better off now than you were 8 years ago. I work 100 hours a week with no over time pay and my house is worth half of what it was worth 8 years ago. But if you want more of the same you should vote for Mcain.
