As much as we all want electric car technology to keep getting better, I think we also know in our hearts that good marketing is going to be just as important for success. Manufacturers would do well to avoid the following names:

Ford FZTTT

Plymouth PLUGGER

Audi OVERLOAD

Honda SOCKET

Saab SHOCK TURBO WAGON

Toyota JOLT

Subaru OUTAGE

Chrysler CORDLESS COUPE

Nissan HUMMINA
