Waraniak says, \u201cHybrids and electric vehicles have to connect with consumers\u2019 lifestyles and experiences. Consumers will not adopt a new technology unless it\u2019s better in every way than what it\u2019s replacing, and anecdotal evidence of emerging markets does not drive consumer acceptance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; \"><strong>Photo: <\/strong><strong><a title=\"flickr photo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bisgovuk\/4442427767\/\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: initial; outline-style: none; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 83, 153); text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 207, 183); \">Flickr\/Bisgovuk<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/27954921-1452050340348973744?l=sufiy.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;&#8230;Universe will give us all a chance and Masters will not chose to spin us into the first option because of&#8230;..(you can add any positive thoughts here).In this case we need to plan how to live during Kondratieff Winter until all loss from derivatives will be absorbed by the system.
