I guess you know that we have been talking to the factory and they assure us the car will be coming here. I know of a dealer in Santa Cruz that is in ...
I read the article to mean that the US will not be an initial launch market. Maybe I walked away with this impression because of a friendly email I received...
I have been reading Sherry Boschert's book on Plug-in Hybrids and she gives a good overview of battery technology in chapter 4. I was surprised to read that...
Check out Zebra's homepage http://www.betard.co.uk/ and you will see that each pack is encapsuled in thermal insulation. I would think an outside temperature...
Thanks. This was what I was thinking as well and after a bit of reading on the URL you shared, here is the manufacturer's statement: "As the cells operate...
The Zebra data sheet indicates it takes <110 Watts to maintain the battery at operating temperature. This translates to around 2.5KwH a day to keep the battery...
I think you have discovered Zebra's biggest disadvantage, Linda. If the car is not in constant use/being charged the energy loss for keeping the batteries warm...
Thanks Tom, I missed the aging data. I am impressed with how flat the curve is. It appears that there is no capacity loss and little change in internal...
I'm not sure whether the BetaRD site is up to date, as MES-DEA is constantly improving the battery. What I've heard is that later models used only 1.5kWh/day...

Thanks Eddie. I was really hoping for more internal dimension data, seating height etc. I wonder how many of the Ford additions will stay and how many will go...
... I'm not sure what you mean by "Ford additions". The brochures and news I have seen continue to state the power steering, power windows, alarm, etc. will be...
There were a number of statements made after Ford bailed out that the A306 was too expensive (at least for the Norwegian market) for a small company to produce...
100,000 km in 2004. Who's got the highest mileage number now? Even with the design changes, it would be interesting to know how the body and trim have held up...
I think everything I have seen to date indicates that the Zebra battery is thought to be the battery of choice when Th!nk relaunches. Here is an article that...
... The press releases were clear that Th!nk would begin production of the City as redisigned by Ford with Zebra batteries and other minor improvements. The...
I would not see the announcements as mutually exclusive. Perhaps the base model could come equipped with a Zebra battery and an upgrade to other batteries...
... I wonder how much of the problem in battery supply has been in manufactering capability versus lack of demand? I suspect the demand has been lowered for...
I suspect it has a lot to do with the Zebra battery being made in Europe and not being imported over here. A lot of European companies are moving to the Zebra...

YEEEEEE HAAAA!!! 62 mph and 111 miles/charge THAT IS AWESOME!!! Mark Bradford __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...
... So 500 this year, 1000 in 2008, and thousands of people on the waiting list in Norway? Sounds like the Aurskog factory will have to get to its full 5000...
I strongly suspect that it's 62mph *OR* 111 miles. Plenty of you will be aware that maintaining a high speed requires a lot more enerygy because of the rolling...
One thing to bear in mind is that some existing owners that want to upgrade to the New TH!NK city are on the waiting list. When they get their new car, this...
