NO ONE WANTS ONE, THEY'RE TOO HARD TO GET:
Strong demand for electric vehicles leaves supplies short (Jerry Hirsch and Brian Thevenot, Los Angeles Times)
If you've been enticed by the recent spate of cheap lease deals on electric cars, good luck finding one.Southern California dealers are seeing heavy demand for battery-powered cars, now leasing for as little as $199 a month. Fiat's new 500e has waiting lists even though it hasn't hit dealer lots. And Honda dealers have already sold out of the Fit EV since a $259 lease was announced Thursday.The reaction revealed pent-up demand for electric vehicles -- as long as the price is right.
