Why lithium?   Message List

Re: [toyota-prius] Re: Why lithium?


As the DVD "Who KIlled the Electric Car" pointed out, about 80% of us drive 29
miles or less per day. Even something as simple as the EV-1 would be more than
adequate for a large majority of commuters. The few that need to go farther can
just jump in their hybrid. Not complicated. If battery packs could be
standardized, you could go farther by incorporating "battery exchange stations".
We have the need and the ability to accomodate this need NOW. Actually, we have
had the ability to have this kind of system for some years now. We just lack the
will (and something about GM and Standard Oil NIMH Patents). Stan in San Diego,
2005 White Prius with 85k and Inverter Pump Replacement Free.
