One of the biggest impediments to establishing a market for electric cars
is the lack of charging stations, like this one in Montpelier, Vt.
(AP Photo/Toby Talbot)A California company was given more than $100 million
in taxpayer funds by the federal government with few strings attached
to establish a network of electric car charging stations that is
fraught with problems, according to a government audit.All this, despite
weak demand by the American public for electric cars.While President Obama
has pledged to get 1 million electric cars on U.S. roads by
2015, a new report by the Department of Energys inspector general found
that Americans aversion to electric vehicles and loose department supervision
led to stalling the charging network which cost taxpayers more than
$135 million.The report noted the project was filled with problems from
the beginning, and said taxpayer-funded grants to San Francisco-based ECOtality
for it were very generous and involved little risk by the company.-
Inspector General's reportECOtality, which recently named Brandon Hurlbut,
former chief of staff for ex-Energy Secretary Steven Chu, to its board,
won a $99.8 million award in 2009 to install nearly 15,000 electric
vehicle chargers throughout the country.The company and its subsidiaries
also received about $35 million from the departments Vehicle Technologies
Program from 2005 to 2011, for two multiyear projects to evaluate and
test specific vehicles.Acco
Rosoboronexport nevertheless appears to be Syria's main weapons supplier,
questioning how the company tracks how its weapons are being used.The Pentagon
contract comes at a vital time, as the Obama administration steps up
its support for the anti-Assad opposition by pledging to provide small arms
to certain opposition groups. The contract potentially puts the U.S. government
in the uncomfortable position of funding a company that is aiding the
other side of that civil war.Despite Russia's claims, a Pentagon official
wrote a letter to Cornyn in March 2012 that acknowledged "evidence" that
Rosoboronexport's arms "are being used by Syrian forces against Syria's
civilian population."
