Has the Eelectric Car movement missed their biggest chance of having a world audience to view their wares?
News today, 18th. November, is that the Olympic committee will not be opting for a fleet of up to 4,000 cars powered by electric batteries, the reason being given is there was never a commitment to do so by them.
But what of car manufacturers, did not one of all the car makers have their eyes on the Olympic games as the perfect venue to advertise to the world?
With a total car requirement of 4,000 units needed and a worldwide audience of Billions some marketing people should be asked what they are being paid for.
The end result is a win for BMW who will supply their Mini E model having given a commitment that the overall average carbon gas emissions of their fleet will be below 120g/kg.
