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.

"Well, first of all, kW is a measure of power, not energy...and the fuel cell stack itself costs about $3000/kW (the goal is $500/kW). So a 50 kW f..."

Unfortunately it appears this time again that the Lithium ion battery is (too expensive to be included in the price of the car) going to be leased so we'd have to pay x$ per month just for the battery itself.
Thanks for your work!
