Very interesting comment from Dave Hermance about battery longevity and cost. "Toyota's own tests have run batteries for the equivalent of 150,000 miles with...
Your post reminds me of a quote, about 5 years ago, in a mainstream auto mag (Car and Driver) where a GM engineer (I think it was) was quoted as saying that...
Part of the theme of this article is that ridership has increased in Tucson and Arizona, and so have deaths. Part of the rationale for ridership increases is...
Forget it Paul, you’re a loony. We tried the BEV and no one wanted them. We have moved on to other things. Get over this already. Please do not attempt to...
Paul, Is there a place (I) can purchase a 156 volt pack of Nimh batteries? Under 3000 sounds close to affordable. Thanks for info. James Wilson ... ...
... C *and H*?! I believe the H is not a problem, unless you have a picnic scheduled. And then, if as the first drops fall you curse the SUVs, you are...
... Well, you believe H is not a problem, and I would guess that H is not a problem, but I prefer to keep track of things, rather than assuming that my belief...
I feel like our taxpayer dollars will be so well-spent.... on the adivce of the company that blew off the chance to have its hand in NiMH batteries, blew off...

I got confirmation that all the SPIs were given back to Toyota with the Ravs last month. All except the one Burbank kept for public use. Bill said Toyota would...
Hard to try and figure this on math alone. Its pretty easy to look at the Gov. tax incentives given to PV, but not at all easy to figure out how much the overt...
Hi, folks, We talked recently about the need for a low-drag car design, preferably with Cd = 0.1 or thereabouts, and how it could further the EV cause. I...
... Love to. What's this "revived"? Your chart suggests some procedure that will increase the life of the VRLA battery fivefold. My Chevy S-10E has a nominal...
