Plan B, a scheme to convert a pick-up truck to electric power for only $10-15,000, was nicely presented. It looks feasible to do. How many scuba or welders...
Yeah, I tend to agree that a company should be on the up-and-up. I just don't get quite the level of BS from these particular claims that you do. Sure, they...
Thanks for that direct link. It adds credibility. As I said, I really want to believe this stuff, so my mind remains open while the skepticism antennae twitch....
Very true. In rethinking road taxes, it's probably wise to start with a clean sheet. At the very least, that's an option. On the other hand, my guess is that...
Maybe some of our disbelief (which is understandable, considering the "jump" in performance and mileage numbers we are seeing, from the days of simple ICE...
Possibly if we could walk around this vehicle, talk to its builders and see it run, we would have very different feelings. I did see Ian Wright's vehicle run...
What really gives the most credibility and also provides some hope for major commercialization of these...is that PML Flightlink is an established company....
Good views from both of you... I just read an e-mail in the last few days wherein the person writing it states that the days of crushing EV's is over and that...
Picking up on the thread from yesterday, this is a great victory -- and it will significantly challenge the Air Resources Board to take on the responsibility...
I'm taking an informal survey -- if you live in PG&E territory, and you have a plug-in vehicle AND a solar PV system, please notify me off-list. (If you've...
One of the activists in Southern California mentioned to me that a Toyota person had said to them that a reason they don't take more seriously such vehicles as...
Wasn't UQM already in wheelchairs? Offhand, can you think of any other established respectable manufacturers in the wheelchair or forklift or golfcart or other...
I do think CARB has some role in this, according to one of the stories I read. I'm not sure how we can tie that into our ongoing effort to understand and...
As a quick addendum....GM has been doing hybrid drives in the rail industry for a long time, any claim that they need time for more research is just BS! ... ...
A rare instance of an electric utility sticking up for plug-in power in a visible way. How Pathetic that PG+E did not speak out suficiently, and is not still...
If a boat is a vehicle then I guess that this one should be mentioned here. http://www.earthrace.net/ http://www.kiwispy.com/DSC00087red.jpg [Non-text portions...
I think there are two ideas that work together here: 1. A Government wants to protect its existing revenue levels. 2. We want to identify a tax scheme that...
One last post from me, two points to make. 1) All states probably already have some sort of road use tax laws either in the works or on the books. The only way...
I've been following this discussion about the loss of revenue to governments when EVs become popular. I'm not sure how this will impact state and federal...
Well, here we are 6 weeks later, and it looks like Mr. Ford is no longer CEO. Whether he was fired or quit, or stuck to what was purportedly his original...
Credit below for the person who first shared...not sure what to make of it, but February is not that far away for their first delivery... vaunscript...
This company used to be Whistler investments. I wrote them off as a sham last time I looked. Their new website, which looks like their old website, says...
There is a video segment on their web site from CBS that I could only listen (video didn't work on my PC). According to the audio there are supposed to be...
... OK, I'll bite. Rather than pay for roads according to who uses them, let's consider who benefits from them. Even if I did not own a car and walked to ...
... Does any Yahoo group actually produce any viable results? Doubtful. Of all the enterprises on earth a discussion group must be the most ineffectual. We're...
Can anyone tell me if it is common, when licensing folks on a global scale to use your technology, to dictate for what purposes the technology may be used? If...
Lawyers come to mind. I'd bet that if Stan had his say he would have given the rights of mfg and propulsion in any capacity to every company who came along...
