The Race For The Electric Car

[heartlessvietboy]

We need to re-write the study of KW of electricity and its power. Everything is all wrong. The KwH is Balogny.

[lavernedi]

Free Energy is real and its here! The Oil companies are doing everything they can to stop this

information. If you want a Free energy machine , get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM , Join the

revolution!

What a scum bag

[Afrocanuk]

8:16 - Just a few years ago the phrase "Clean Coal" were constantly being used in the media. Now it doesn't look like it's clean anymore.

[oomblikkies]

This Roadster car is a hoax. Running 40 kilos on electricity generated from gasoline means nothing and to plug the car's battery into a home socket is just again shifting the source of electricity to the coal power station. And then on top of all this is all batteries do have a finite lifetime and will certainly create over time a huge waste disposal problem. And all this nonsense when science tells us mankind is not reponsible for global warming.

[khmerog1]

@oomblikkies You are right I never thought about all the batteries that will be thrown away. That is most def a long term problem for electric cars.

[ceed4eva]

what the hell do u think the electricity is generated from in the first place

[khmerog1]

@ceed4eva you ever heard of HYDRO ELECTRICITY? I live in Canada and British Columbia (the province on the west) Most of their electricity is from Hydro (rivers, water spinning turbines).

What USA needs is not just non-oil car but they need maybe more of a train system. Why does everyone person need to drive a car to work? Why not put a rail road system on city main roads.

[ceed4eva]

@khmerog1 hhhhhmmmm. thank for that. you have some good ideas. but i think the power industry needs to change first before the motor industry. far more fossil fuels are burned in power stations than in cars, and even the electric cars use power from coal power plants, get my point?

[thepofmeister]

water. that's all you need. the reason why this tech is kept off the market, is because if we don't control the economy of the world, thru oil, we ca't keep people debt slaves... the truth is, since the end of WWII, the trillions and trillions that the military have used to develope and patent, and apply, only for themselves, has been YOUR money. and it's time. thru the law, to get these realities, to the people. the people.

[qtrinh]

$109K? kiddin me?

[Zmanoo6]

GM should have went down after bankruptcy. Stupid bailout is only keeping failing, non-imaginative oil based companies viable, which seems to be thwarting progress in other areas such as EV production.. Ahhh America....

[yourwifecalledagain]

If GM had collapsed so would have the entire economy! You can't just let a giant like that die.

[myleftnutts]

of course u can...and if it wont die on it's own then "Kill It".

[clarkvaughan]

This is the first time I've ever heard Lutz speak. I haven't missed a thing. The man is not very smart at all. He doesn't belong in the same room with Jobs, Gates, Cuban, or Dell. It's just not there. Rich and smart do not always coincide. That's the main problem with GM, dummies making the big decisions. The silicon valley guys will solve their problems. They're just smarter.

[househippie]

I meant to vote Thumbs Up for the previous comment by liveoilfree, but accidentally mis-clicked Thumbs Down. The order YouTube has for these two side-by-side thumb rating buttons is counter intuitive. It should be Thumbs Up (positive) first, Thumbs Down (negative) second. That's how other websites do it!

[liveoilfree]

Leslie...is a reporter for the paid-off media, which means...she's an idiot and has to lie, to boot. No one tells the truth: existing, real EVs using NiMH batteries run today, 7 years after Chevron killed the production line by suing to stop it.

[liveoilfree]

It's actually a race to KILL the electric car. If they wanted to BUILD one, they would just use NiMH or lead-acid batteries, not the much more expensive and short-lived Lithium. The RAV4-EV or EV1 would only cost $20,000, if the auto companies wanted to build it. Instead, they LIE about it.

[maximilian333]

GM is a lumbering monstrosity.

[randknu]

That tesla is really cheap here in norway, because most of the price of a car here is taxes and the taxes are based on the size of engine and emissions. so as an electric there is 0 taxes and free pass on all toll-roads, free parking spaces...

[haveabeer123]

2 personal jets, 2 helicopters, and a bankrupt company... how in the world does he keep his job??... the world upside down,,, americans are such suckers bailing out these fat cats... ofcourse they get distracted with their baseball, football and basketball garbage that they fail to see how they are robbed by these crooks... unbelievable!

[ingareinar007]

The first car to pass the 100 km.hour mark, was an eletric car! In 1898! Hmm..

[ez3usx2]

goverment motors=gm is going to make a expensive pinto nobody is going to pay 40 grand for.

did u see the lincvolt car neil young the singer is trying to build?i'm betting the possibility of a 100 mpg 1959 lincoln could be done.i thank neil young for putting his money time and life into this.

he needs our support as much as the world needs his right now i think.

check out his car here

lincvolt

[WhatFEDnotesARE]

ExxonMobil owns all the Li-ion battery patens. Why? One can only wonder.

[ajloxirs]

at that price it might as well be a lamborgini, it's unreachable to normal people, no on mention's the polution tht all those battery's cause's..and it's still hooked up to a power grid that burn's fossil fuel...so drive along in your geek mobile with your rose coloured glasses on...i'm no greeny of any sort here..my point is still reality thou=p

[heaty007]

you are the dummy that is short sighted. who said the grid is going to continue using fossil fuels? That has to change too so quit being a quitter when you see a challege.

FUTURE GENERATIONS DEPEND ON IT

[DINGLEtheBERRY]

the volt is just another smokescreen. give up on getting the car companies to do it.

[Beamshipcaptain]

TESLA otors is working on a 4-door sedan, and an SUV.

Detroit has been in bed with the oil-companies since day ONE.

[DINGLEtheBERRY]

i think we should have mass produced conversion kits. people should understand that the kits can be removed, when the car body rusts out or something, and then put into a new "shell". also i like how they call an extension chord an expensive infrastructure. thomas edison, and other great inventors we revere, must be dry- heaving in their grave.

[GodFearinAmerican]

this video is bias, its nothing but cbs 60 minute liberal bull crap. Instead of worrying about the mans carbon footprint she should take a look at what here party affiliate Al Gore owns. Its all about global warming and it needs to stop!

[evguyohio]

Hmmm...who retired/quit?

I would rather spend the 40,000 to buy the S then the volt.

[GREENxiSxDEAD]

population growth due to mass immigration and mass growth will negate ANY benefits you can glean out of corn oil or batteries.

youre screwed, all of you. and its you own doing.

[greenmotorsport]

Support the new EV car companies please!! The older companies are out of date and have old machines and technology. Far easier to start from fresh I suggest.

[theoneagain]

there is no way ill be buying a car I waiting for the ultimate low cost green CRA TO COME OUT ON THE MARKET such as THE AIR CAR by GUY NEGRE french GUY NO GASOLINE JUST COMPRESSED AIR CHEAP PRODUCTION STARTS IN 2009 3500 EUROS

[musashi1865]

hahaha you do that

[theoneagain]

start selling yiour jets and helicopters and tgive the tax payer back his money you stealing swine

[theoneagain]

they re going bust because of ther gas guzzling suv's

[Bleeder26]

1)SAY THE NAME OF THE BOY OR GIRL U WANNA BE WITH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE 2TIMES

2)SAY UR BEST FRIENDS NAME 5 TIMES TO UR SELF

3)THEN POST THIS TO FIVE VIDEOS AND THEN PRESS F8 AND YOU WILL SEE UR CRUSHES NAME ON THE screen IF U DONT DO THIS U WILL GET KILLED BUY THIS INSANE GUY WHO THINKS HES THE CHAINSAW MASSACRE GUY AND THEN YA UR SCREWED

[drmodestoesq]

Here's the thing with GM. If I owned stock in the company I'd want them to soak the idiot public by making those high profit margin SUVs and selling them to a public wishing to indulge in masturbatory horsepower fantasies. However, I would also want them to keep a heavy R and D emphasis on electric cars and to sell the EV1 even at a loss. Then, when peak oil hit and the price of gas skyrocketed your in a perfect position to ramp up production and capitalize on the new reality.

[charliexyz1234]

So this guy Lutz (vice Chairman GM) - who gave us gas guzzelling SUV's, Hummers and 4 DVD players in a Chevy van, who owns 2 helicopters and 2 jets, who denies the manmade causes of global warning and who just a few years ago ordered all of GM's existing electric cars (cost: approx. $1 billion) to be crushed and melted for scrap - is part of the 'team' that now wants a $30 billion bailout !! This, so he can help save the auto industry and the environment by developing electric cars!!!!

[GaryVonGary]

Yes, that's how it works. Unless someone else wants to step up to the plate and take on his position. It's a well-known fact that power corrupts and it would probably corrupt you too!

[emforty2]

give bailout money to TESLA and many other small electric car company

[visualvideos]

You think that a guy with two Jets & two Choppers would had his teeth fixed long ago.

[madmax797]

LOL also fix his voice

[JayRIPx]

cmon Fisker make us a nice sporty family car on electricity that we can afford

[cowmix]

It depressing that Telsa had to cut staff recently.

[Anothercoilgun]

Wast of damn time. To hell with GM
