I have to disagree the concept is good. The batteries are even better. The new A123 batteries are outstanding. They are the real deal. I know of several...
Can you cite the examples of A123 vatteries used in "...FULL SIZED PURE EVS..."? (emphasis added) The issue is not whether they work, the issue is how long...

These are all very impressive and wonderful.  But the claim is that no EV has driven more than 50K miles on Lithium without significant battery degradation....
Stephen may be getting close to 50K. His Solectria has been on the road for three years. He has several EVs so he may not be racking up the miles. Only his...
My prediction: GM will lease the batteries, so you can't extract them, sell them and replace them with lead-acid; the batteries will be protected by the engine...
The leasing of the battery pack is possible. Starting up the generator would be totally unnecessary. A pack of A123 batteries that has 40 miles range would be...
I don't disagree with the batteries, but my point is to forget the batteries for now and bring the car to market faster at a much cheaper price, get people...

In 1994, GM, clearly conflicted over being forced to build the EV1, purchased control of the NiMH batteries and proceeded to suppress them because of...

There was nothing wrong with the Panasonic lead acid battery used in the EV1. It was made by PSB with the model number EV-EC-1260. It is also arguably the best...
