"Electric cars are too expensive because Americans insist on having more car than they need" rants MSN.
The article notes that the average price of electric cars is $62,000, well above the average American's budget even for a new vehicle. It blames the high price tag, however, on the uniquely American love of big SUV's and Trucks.
The article mostly blames the fact that Americans have come to prize the pickup truck, citing statistics showing the Ford F-series, the Chevy Silverado, and the Ram 1500 as the top-selling vehicles in America respectively.
This article from MSN pays no attention to a larger family's need for an SUV or rural American's need for a pickup, rather, it slants the statistics to make 'big vehicle' people appear selfish.
