Best Buy to Sell Electric Cars?

There’s been a lot of talk of Best Buy getting involved in selling electric cars, but there appears to be a lot of apprehension with electric vehicles from not just the huge retail mogul, but even moreso from the public.

Best Buy has dabbled in electric scooters for about a year now, the retail giant has been very quiet about the success of the venture with scooters.  However there was even more curiosity when they went into investigative mode with electric car maker Wheego a few months ago.  Many people wondered just what the retailer was planning on doing and what type of marketing the electric car could benefit from as a result. Now those talks have reportedly come to a stop and no decision has been made or publicly announced or even if there was anything to talk about in the first place.

Some blog pundits have considered that the crux of the problem may be the public’s perception of electric vehicles such as how you charge them, how far they can go on a charge, if it will dramatically raise their electric bill, will they be stranded if the battery runs out, and not to mention the difference between all of the models out there.

At this point, the best thing that Wheego can do is to go into overdrive and answer the questions that are out there as best as possible to alleviate the public concerns. Until the public is more comfortable with electric cars beyond the level that was achieved with hybrid cars, the EV market may have a tough uphill climb. For those that are perfectly comfortable with Wheego’s capabilities, Jim Ellis Wheego in Atlanta has a great offering of the vehicles and hopefully people will see the value as gas prices fluctuate in and out of wallets and pocketbooks across the country.
