I don't know much about the various electric cars, but I have seen some on ebay. You can go to ebay motors and search for electric cars and there will be used ones and maybe even new ones of various types, and here are a couple of links to manufacturers. There may be more, and I don't know if the links provided are the main ones or the best ones.

At any rate, rest assured that no company has the power to stop a product if it is viable. If there is a sufficient market for any kind of electric car, the market would explode and everybody and his brother would be starting companies, designing various makes and models, and getting rich doing it.
One important point about all of this. Gasoline cost is still fairly cheap for most families budgets, in comparison with everything else. For example, I have looked into buying a very efficient small car for driving around town or for short distances, but when you put the pencil to it, the economic advantage is not there after you add the extra investment, the insurance cost and everything else associated with an extra vehicle. I would have to consider such a vehicle as an extra vehicle, because I would still need my standard car to travel across country or for interstate driving just a hundred miles from here. The electric car has limited use, so until it can totally replace my standard car, it is nothing more than a rich man's luxury. If gasoline rises alot more in price, perhaps to $5 per gallon, then another car begins to become more viable in terms of possibly saving money. Right now, the sales of highly efficient street legal small gasoline powered scooters are booming, but even in with those vehicles, I have talked to people that say they might just break even with fuel savings vs the cost of owning one after a year or two.
