TreehuggerTV: Who Killed the Electric Car? Choco Hydrogen

What does our oil dependence cost us as consumers? This week TreeHuggerTV gets the inside track on "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and finds out how clean, quiet, efficient electric cars were systematically pulled off the road and could have been useful during Hurricane Katrina. We also fuel your Umpa Lumpa fantasies with energy generated from chocolate waste, shed light on Fetzer Wines' new solar array, and get our green groove on with Barbara Streisand.

you can convert an old car to electric for about $2000, and using old tesla patents make it charge itself, en route.  They've been lying to you for decades, I pray they drown in their oil. Filthy Scumbag Criminals sneaking into office.

Only since the fifties have people had some odd dream of roaming the country in fossil burners for pleasure. My wife and I wanted an ev1 in'99 but settled for the v6 firebird because we couldn't get one in washington yet.When they scrapped the cars I almost burned it to the ground on film just to say f*#k you to GM! I have NO respect for oil men or any of their government puppets...including the talking heads of present day. They all must drive Hummer's or Powerstroke's now!

AltairNano says they can achieve as quick as a 6 minute full charge, and a 1 minute 80% charge :P

Catch is they need an industrial 480volt, 400amp, threephase connection.
