Mark Slate down as a part of the MSM. In other words they are lying and refusing to correct lies. Hewitt here..

Prospective customer reaction to the new Chrysler electric cars is about what you'd think. It's an asshole company run by overpaid execs (join the club) who have decided that what I want to do is run my electric bill up by twice what I'd pay for gas to go the equivalent miles. Bye bye Chrysler. Oh, they forget to tell you that most electricity is generated by power plants running on fossil fuel. So what is saved? And anyone running an electric car will be taxed to make up for the tax money not generated from the loss of gasoline taxes.
