you did not read what I said. $13,775 is NOT COST. its FULL RETAIL.

those cars don't come close because they can not use the NIMH battery. you seem to lack basic understanding of my entire point. THE BATTERY IS THE KEY. without the battery $28k really is about as cheap as you can do it with lithium batteries currently.

the "COST" of my EV would be more like $5000-$7000

I will say this again since you missed the multiple times I said it before.

my price is not only "FULL RETAIL" not cost but its HUGELY PADDED to be ultra conservative.

"Stuff like R&D, federal certification, EPA testing, lawsuits, recalls, etc. add a huge hit to the price. "

all that crap is built into the prices!!
