<< On June 12/99, an VW rep from OWASCO  (Canada's largest VW Camper
 importer) announced that Volkswagen will no longer import EV's, in any
 form, into Canada after 1999. He said that there were 63 currently on
 order and when that order was filled, there would be no more. He didn't
 know their fate in the US.

They're selling like hotcakes here too!!!!   NOT.
why spend ~$30 grand on a EV when you can buy a Chrysler minivan for $10
grand less?  (general concensus of the American public)
i would say the EV is dying a slow death, and they will dissapear from the US
market AGAIN in the next year or so.  Can't VW learn from their own mistakes?
