The Germans are jumping in with both feet. Japanese manufacturers have a few different plug in hybrids (maybe the best short term solution), but I'm not sure if they have 100% electric models out right now.I know some might think it's a dumb argument but it all depends on what type of power plants make your electricity. I think there is way better options out there for green vehicles then ones powered by batteries. The tech aint even close to where it needs to be in my eyes for what I do and where I live. GM, Chrysler, and Ford business models are never that really impressive to me because they always react to the short term business model and don't take the time or the research to create the tech they need to create good quality vehicles. I'll ask you this if it was such a great option for green vehicles then why isn't the Japanese vehicle manufactures are not building them.
