[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 934134, member: 12508"] Actually, didn't the early Bugs use a gasoline heater? Also, they didn't mention that the Electric Van has no brakes. There's a large hole in the floor where you apply the Flintsone Method to slow or stop the vehicle. You can also do your business through the floor and avoid wasting time looking for a bathroom. This whole deal was a PR stunt. FedEx has no intention of ever buying a large fleet of these vans. Look at it. It's small, expensive, and would require FedEx to invest in additional infrastructure to support it (charging stations, specialized maintenance etc). I don't think that the company that built it has gone under yet, but electric vehicle manufacturers don't tend to last because nobody buys more than a handful of them. The only time you're ever going to see one in the real world is when the "Fred's Green Dog and Pony Show" goes on the road to show the public how "FedEx Cares" about the environment. Bottom line...they don't care. [/QUOTE]
