Comment on Is Nissan set to make the UK its electric car base? by Johan_W

What I don’t understand (but I am not really technical) is why these cars dcn’t load up themselves?

Most cars use about 300 volt approx. With a couple of dynamo’s you can load up the accu while driving.

When you divide 300 Volt through 24 V yoy would need 13 accu’s.

Every axle/wheel can have several dynamo’s; it must not be difficult to connect 6 to one axle.

I am rather anxious about my investment in BYD and wonder if it is a good long term investment. Would appreciate some feed-back

Well, if money is not the deciding factor, I’d opt for a Tesla: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTO-6B_h57w

My sources tell me that BYD has just built a huge vanadium battery plant in China and that their next generation eCars will have vanadium-lithium-phosphate batteries in them. Vanadium is the metal to watch over the next 12 months. Stay on top of all thigns vanadium by following me on Twitter @VanadiumJoe

Comment on Is the electric car market becoming nothing more than a political football? by JMB

Yes, it is definitely politics. After reading Two Cents Per Mile: Will President Obama Make it Happen With the Stroke of a Pen?, I have a whole new take on electric vehicles and energy system in general. We had the technology for 100% electric cars that got up to 200 miles per charge. But the Department of Energy, oil companies and car manufactures got together (despite anti-trust laws) to decide what direction the U.S. should be headed for alternative vehicles. Meanwhile, Chevron oil got the rights to the NiMH batteries that powered the Toyota RAV4-EV and the EV-1 (of Who Killed the Electric Car fame). These cars met the needs of 95% of drivers but since Chevron holds all the patent right to the battery, we cannot have them. Now the Volt is being shoved in our face bragging that it gets 40 mile son pure electric? BIG DEAL. This battery is ONE FIFTH as effective as the NiMH yet Obama is pouring billions of tax dollars into research for these inferior technologies. Read Cefo’s book Two Cents Per Mile to learn all the dirty little secrets surrounding the most effective electric car battery ever made. Thankfully, Cefo offers a solution to get the technology back.

Tesla Roadster the Next Generation Sports Car…

This is the greatest car ever. Can you imagine to ride all day with the pleasure of Porsche GT3, and to pay about $10 for this. It is just amazing!!!…

Comment on Do hybrid cars help or hinder the electric car market? by Linda Mirano

I believe it is a big progress although everything is not totaly smooth with hybrid cars. We’re on track to produce clean cars for nature and humanity and that’s what counts.
