The hearings focused on four questions: (1) what are the present performance characteristics of electric vehicles and to what extent can they fulfill our current transportation needs; (2) what are the best estimates of the probable improvements in electric vehicle performances as an outgrowth of an accelerated R and D program; (3) what are the institutional or other barriers to rapid development and introduction of electric vehicles in our automobile fleet; and (4) what should be the role of the Federal government in facilitating electric vehicle development and demonstration. Bills before the subcommittee that will increase the Federal role in fostering electric vehicle research and development are S. 1632 and H.R. 8800, both entitled, ''Electric Vehicle Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 1975.'' Following an opening statement by the Hon. Frank E. Moss, the presiding chairman, the full texts of the bills and comments from Federal agencies are printed. Comments on S. 1632 from NASA, Department of Commerce, Comptroller General, U.S. Postal Service, EPA, and the Department of the Army are included. The comments from the Departments of Transportation, Commerce, and State, ERDA, HUD, and GSA are presented for H.R. 8800. Nine witnesses from industry and Rep. Mike McCormack were heard on Oct. 7, 1975; and on Oct. 10, following the opening statement by Senator Moss, nine witnesses from Federal agencies, industry, or national laboratories were heard. Many additional articles, letters, and statements are included in the Committee print. (MCW)
