Live oil-free with plug-in ALL-ELECTRIC EV and powered with solar rooftop Photo-Voltaic panels.

The Toyota RAV4-EV, created in 1997 by Toyota, was killed by the Chevron-funded lawsuit (2002). Toyota voluntarily sold the last 328 the public between Mar. and Nov. 2002, but can't make or sell the battery here, all of them are operating on the original batteries.

The batteries are here, no need to wait for lithium.

NiMH is the only battery proven to last more than 100,000 miles on an EV that goes up to 80 mph and more than 100 miles on a charge for years -- perhaps decades.

GM's refusal to use NiMH or Lead to make a plug-in car shows that they are still killing the Electric car.

NiMH lasts longer and is cheaper, is non-toxic; recycles, scrap Nickel is almost all recycled while old Lithium is just thrown into the dump.

GM and Chevron killed the EV1, now deny RAV4-EV exists

GM helped Chevron kill the EV1, and now denies that the batteries needed for a plug-in car exist. This proves they do.
California Air Resources Board failure to perform
6 videos
California Air Resources Board fails to regulate auto exhaust, fails to relate that exhaust to the refinery pollution that it makes necessary, and fails to enforce the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate.

Only oil-free cars will stop our petroleum addiction. Instead, CARB attacks backyard BBQ, wood burning, port diesel, and creates complicated regulations designed to confuse the public. These things are bad, but CARB is IGNORING THE BIG PROBLEM, petroleum, while wasting time and $300 million per year on these snipe-hunts.

When will CARB attack refineries and oil emissions? When will they stop avoiding the issue? Maybe they should hold meetings near the refineries of Wilmington, which kill kids lungs every day.

Thanks for posting and I hope you will send this and other material to the future engineers who can go beyond the limits that others set in front of them. There are many who believe the lies that we can not get beyond fossil fuels and there are those who make a living with the status quo who can not afford to be in opposition.

Thanks for your work!

What is your advise to someone who wants to buy an electric car now? The Zap car made in China is a piece of crap/golf cart, the Zenn car is way overpriced for slow speed, the 1-passenger Myers is too much $30,000 for 1 person vehicle, and the BG Automotive Group's C-100 won't be available until 2010 & won't go on the freeway. Please help, I need a car but don't want to buy something that uses gasoline. Thanks for any advise you can give me. Pls reply to my channel, if you can!

I agree with dave! if congress wants to bail out an auto company, start with Tesla!

Don't give more money to these crooks at GM just to sweep the future under the rug again.

Just puppets of the Oil industry, paid to keep their mouth shut and prevent clean technology from making it.

All for money *shakes head*

THANKS Doug. Really enjoyed the NiMH stories and your "dealer drive-bys."

Your interviews in WKTEC and this channel really helped my knowledge of EVs, Ovshinsky, Cobasys, perfidious GM and despicable Chevron. Now I'm a straight-thinking kid and EAA member.

This page is extremely difficult to find. Anything you can do to fix that? Mention "Doug Kortof" on the page a gazillion times? I'm sure some clever reader can help. It does not show up under a google search for Doug Korthof. Or should I say "What a surprise!"

Are you an engineer? What do you think of the lack of new automotive technology in NASCAR?
