Article Abstract:

A California mandate that called for the selling of electric vehicles (EVs) by 1998 has been rewritten. The modified mandate was necessary, some say, because batteries have yet to be developed that can compete with gasoline engines. The mandate still requires 10% of sales by 2003 to include EVs.
