but, there is a root problem......they still need to sell Oil!!!!! Maybe when the oil is over, or the prices get an unpraticable price....the massive prodution would be made! Is the Ion-Litium battery sustentable? how we can descart it when the car is not usable anymore!?? Do we have enough Litium avaliable? If we consume litium how expensive could it get???? Is not quite simple, but is the way!

I would be a little nervous about the fact that their representative thinks formula one and indy car chassis are made out of bonded aluminum structures.

Obviously English is not my strong point but you get the point.

In order to have electric cars to be a competative with combustion engine vehicles somebody (a company or the gov't) are going to have to build new or convert older infrastructure to support a new fleet of vehicles. Everytime you flip the lights on in your house you pay an energy bill. Everytime you use the stove you are paying a gas utility bill. I can only hope "they'll" set up Energy stations instead of more Gas stations. The key is lesser or no emissions and cheaper, renewable energy.

Tesla wasn't forgotten he was deliberately suppressed. I find it strange how this guy can come forward all of a sudden and challenge the oil companies, there's got to be some kind of control scheme here. This guy would be SHOT if he tried to cross the oil companies, so he must be connected AND supplying profits to those corporate interests. Something about this is smells really bad. I bet you they'll set up ENERGY stations instead of Gas stations. Yup...

I don't think the company has gone public, yet

Absolutely true and those who can't see that are blind. The I.C. engine is not that much different to a steam engine and in the years to come it will be viewed in the same way at museums. A noisey, heavy, complicated, inefficient, polluting lump of iron! Buy up shares now in any company involved with the design, development and production of electric motors!

Well at 2.7p per mile, and 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, it is kinda tempting :) I love that electric car makers have woken up to the fact no one will like them until they out perform the best of petrol... Just looking into the stats, there's no way petrol can keep up with what's coming... no physical gearbox (wheel drive), 96% efficient motors, massive torque from start... full charge in 10 mins (British Lightning tech) it's the end for petrol within 10 years I reckon...

Or, like you have a reserve can with gasolin, you `ll have an extra battery.
