Why exactly is it "electric crap"?
I will give GM one benefit of the doubt. They developed a Chevy hybrid pickup truck that put out the exact same torque and HP as their non-hybrid model. Only difference between the two was that the hybrid got almost double the gas mileage.
Then, back to my comment that the company has a terrible business plan, they didn't market the truck or provide any PR for it. There wasn't any demand because no one knew about it.
A friend of mine owns a landscaping company. Last year on one of his work trucks, he was paying over $1000/month in fuel costs - on one truck! Now, cut that number almost in half and he would have saved over $4000 in expenses last year for that truck.
