Probably the world's cheapest "car" to run, as its battery is free of cost. Not quite a Tesla electric sports car, but this 1984 electric pickup is running on the closest thing to "free energy" and also, its batteries were rescued from the landfill and rejuvenated. There are several battery breakthroughs in this "World's First Revived Battery Electric Pickup Truck." As the show's host says, help is needed to get this technology into the hands of more people, for the planet's sake, as this type of alternative energy is relatively clean.

The Globe and Mail newspaper said that there are only 12 licensed EV's in British Columbia. Down from over 40, about four years ago. The price of gas has quadrupled, but the number of licensed EV's has dropped by 80% in BC.
Doesn't that make you realize that there is SOMETHING WRONG with the "standard" EV out there?
If you want an EV that is daily-use reliable, you've got to change the "losing game", eh? Gotta' think out of the box.
The EV put together by Rob Matthies (me) and Gary Tang with the help of gifted kids and the Vancouver Gadgeteers costs only 3 CENTS per kilometer to operate, including the cost of battery replacement.
One VEVA member's EV, on the other hand, cost him $2/km to own. He's sold it since. And last I heard, it wasn't licensed by the new owner.
Many EV's are rusting away under the shade of a tree in someone's driveway. All of these can be REVIVED and put back in service. And, they can all use DISCARDED batteries, like the Revived Battery electric pickup truck -- the cheapest licensed four-wheel vehicle to operate in the world. It uses dead batteries that have been revived.
Yeah, there are doubters out there. None of them have an EV like ours. You don't need a PhD to see that this is the best option for under a $15,000 budget.
If you want to know how we did this, save up ninety nine bucks, and I'll tell you about battery revival.

With this breakthrough, an EV can go further, or use fewer batteries. Just one of the breakthroughs of the Vancouver Gadgeteers. http://vancouver-gadgeteers.blogspot....

Al gore is a corporate shill. Global warming is mostly due to our emergence with the galactic eclpitic 12-21-2012 at the Hunab K'u. Sure mankinds toxic filth from the oil, coal etc. is horrific, but gore getting a nobel prize for claiming it is the cause of changes which are taking places on Earth and all planets within our solar system and the sun as well, is of course ludicrous.
don't know how this guys system works, but the Bedini SSG motor/energiser claims to do the same thing. plans to build your own can be found all over the web and youtube... it only takes a few minutes to solder together...the motor runs on one battery while charging another with high voltage flyback spikes from the coil. I'm still in the process of testing its effect on a long dead battery...the company energenx sells chargers that use a solidstate version of the same idea...
Most of our recyclables are sold to China. I dont approve of this. Plus they take the recyleable assets and charge us to do so. Sweet system for the commies to make money
Shanghai (according to a National Geographic article) once had terrible air pollution which was reduced after a reduction in cars, which caused a rise in lead-acid batteries being dumped everywhere by electric bicycle owners. Shanghai then banned electric bikes next. Let's hope that London (Congestion Tax) and Milan (Pollution Toll) don't have the same sad end, in respect to electric cars.
The posted video states that lead acid batteries "would otherwise be in a landfill." This is nonsense. I agree that Third World environmental conditions must be addressed, but the news broadcast is simply based on ignorance.
Read Shanghai battery trash story. "Revived Batteries" may be a great solution to Londoners and Milan electric vehicle owners, let's hope that they can implement battery revival science like we have in Vancouver, Canada.
FYI: Mexico City and Manila have recently started joint business/government electric vehicle manufacturing operations. They are not aware that electric cars' batteries may likely cost 2X-10X more than gasoline, unless they revive batteries, like we did in Vancouver.
Good sound but video from tv to camera is poor. Didn't the stations website have the video on line ? Might be a good idea to get a DVD recorder. Thanks for the EV Austin link. I'll put a link on our groups website. voltwagons dot com
The Global TV crew brought their own battery guy to check things out. Note the battery load test in the newscast and also by the newspaper (Burnaby Now) -- there is a blogsite with photos of the newspaper guy using the tester himself before the paper ran the story on the front page.

Have you seen our club's Bedini and modified Adams motors? We've experimented similarly to yours.
