I live in Lenexa, on the west edge of the Kansas City metro area, so the Panasonic plant in DeSoto is right up Highway K-7. It's been getting a lot of attention - both for the jobs it will bring to the area, and the tax incentives used to get them to build here.Ha ha. I have no idea where you live, or even where the battery mega factory is located. But yeah, I don't think that battery cars have had the expected take up in the Western world. A little bit more government intervention and manipulation required perhaps. Hopefully Panasonic doesn't get badly burnt out of the whole circus anyway. Be a shame to see the digital camera division get wiped out through no fault of their own.
