Electric Car Policy

The film "Who killed the Electric Car?" demonstrates that such a car is already a reality. In spite of claims to the contrary, the required battery has been developed. It allows the car to run for up to 300 miles, at current roadway speeds, before having to be recharged. The film also refutes the claim that the price of the car was "too high", as the car hadn't been mass-produced, nor had it been that widely advertised. The service for an electric car is minimal, since the car has no complicated internal combustion engine and does not use gas. Again, the unprecedented nature of our situation requires emergency measures, which could be taken through the use of the Bank of Canada.

This would have corollary benefits that would include:

Keeping pace with other developed countries that produce their own cars.
Giving a higher profile to the intelligent use of a national bank.
Provide an example to other developed nations of practical and timely steps that can be taken to reduce the increase of global warming.
Developing an electric car would invigorate the Canadian economy and set a precedent that other nations might wish to follow. It would also address, at the same time, another of CAP's key policy issues: the intelligent use of the Bank of Canada.

Therefore:
To aid in the reversal of the global warming, a CAP government will vigorously promote the development of a Canadian Electric Car manufacturing industry and all other viable automobile alternatives.
