Chevron could make a ton in the new electirc car indurstry If they can get car companys paying them royaltys for the rights to make NiMH battrie cars. I'm not saying i support big companys like that but they could still make a huge profit if they played their cards right.
NiMH batteries in the Toyota RAV4-EV last longer than the life of a car -- even a Toyota car -- but after they are replaced, they can still serve as battery backup for solar systems. When and if they are depleted, they recycle for CASH for the Nickel metal content. Same for lead.
Sure, nothing is free, but ever looked into the upstream cost of an OIL WAR??
WOW, look, another car that uses fuel that the oil barons can manufacture, monopolize, and enslave us with. My god people, do you not realize that if we develop electric vehicles, the electricity you put into the car could eventually be produced on your own roof. Using the current electric grid an EV typically gets 10 to 20 times the distance from $1.00 worth of elec. then a gas car can get from $1.00 worth of gas. Think about it, that's a 90% to 95% savings.
YEP...and then all of the oil that is refined from a barrel of oil to make all of the plastic, the tires, the lubricants, and the diesel fuel for equipment to produce the metals that make up the car wouldn't exactly make it "oil free".....
Your ignorance shines forth. It's essentially "oil-free" in that it doesn't burn oil to run the car or to make the electric. The diesel that carries your car to the dealer also ferries the EV, the EV is oil-free ceteris parabus.
Perfect arguments - Only one concern - my FUN-ELEC microcar is unable to coast - I believe this is wasting energy. So tell the manufacturers they shall have regeneration of braking energy yes, but also have a mode with very low towing losses...
May be also its better to invest to make the car much lighter before applying expensive electric power trains.
Solectria Sunrise, 30 kWh pack, 350 miles range, 0-60 in 17 seconds, 75 mph top speed. Solectria Force, 30 kWh pack, 200 miles range, 0-60 in 19 seconds, 70 mph top speed. GM EV1, 30 kWh pack, 0-60 in 7.5 seconds, 80 mph top speed, hit 183 mph at Burbank proving grounds with governor removed and adjusted gear ratio. Toyota RAV4 EV, 100 miles range, 0-60 in 17 seconds, 80 mph top speed. Honda EV+, 140 miles range, 0-60 in 14 seconds, 90 mph top speed. NiMH was viable in the 90s.
ACTUALLY it cost Toyota over $100,000 to make the RAV4 EV....I even posted the article as a reply on another one of your videos...but somehow it was removed. I posted the link on one of your vids that make some of your arguments false leading, and incorrect. I guess only hiding information against your opinion is what is actually immoral. Maybe you should leave the facts posted instead of croping my replies. Don't worry I'll post the page again when I get home.
Actually, it cost $38,000 to build the RAV4-EV, and Toyota made a small profit on it. This is based on confidential costing information but does not include the research on the batteries, which is being amortized on the Prius.
I hope you're right, but don't think so. GM's plan is to use the idea of the Volt to counter the PR disaster of WKtEC, then postpone until after the RAV4-EV are gone, perhaps 2015, and then just declare that the batteries are not available.
I have heard that hybrid nmh batteries are not chargeable at all because they are made to be charged off of the gas engine its such a load and do you know anyone who builds controllers
There are a lot of "paper" EV companies; whether some of them will prove real is unknown. Right now, the only proven are using the ACPropulsion technology, the successor to the EV1. So that's real, and does work; but can't use the NiMH batteries.
You're missing a rather large point from your argument, Hybrids use NiMH batteries NOW! The EV1 was forced onto the road by a quirky law in a lone western US State. It didn't take long for that law to get lobbied out of existence. It did demonstrate the potential of EVs to the public so it served a purpose. This time around it's the public demanding EVs. It's the largest single revolution in Auto engineering in over 100 years so it may take a few years to get here but it IS coming.
Only GM could build an electric car that refuels with gasoline.

Batteries, unlike oil, are almost all recycled.

And of course, the production and disposal of all these batteries doesn't damage the environment at all...

The problem is, no matter how light you make it, it still burns OIL.
The winning idea is to drive oil-free, and power it with rooftop solar power.

It's really not magic, and everyone else should be given the chance to buy one. This is OLD TECHNOLOGY, well-proven, successful, it works.

Too bad it cost Toyota OVER $100,000 dollars to make the EV RAV4, and sold them for $42,000..sounds like THAT would be VERY successfull....

Actually, it cost them $38,000, they made a small profit (counting federal incentives).
Don't believe the myths that GM taught you.
