Electric vehicles represent a technology meriting continued development. Today's vehicles, however, have limited commercial potential because they cost more and perform poorly compared with conventional vehicles. As a result of considerable interest expressed by several Congressmen, GAO reviewed the Department of Energy's program to develop, demonstrate, and commercialize electric vehicles. This report recommends that electric vehicle research and development be strengthened, vehicle demonstrations be limited initially to the Federal sector, and loan guarantees for commercial production be delayed. The Congress should make the legislative changes and take other actions needed for program redirection.
