Thanks for the info.
I'll stick my neck out and say the only thing that
could come close is a Metal/ air batt that's consumed
during the test, not rechargable by plug.
If Electric Fuel Propulsion? Zinc/air maker, would
sell their batts where the owner could do their own by
changing 4 to 6 cassettes weighing 50 lbs each should
get a light car probably 300 miles. Or sell them thru
big Batt dealers, just get them out there where we can
buy them.
You could use a say 50 mile lead batt pack for most
of your driving and use the Zinc/ air batts for 300
trips. Make each cassette the size of a golf cart batt
and they would have several thousand Ev-er's willing
to convert just to start. Switch to 8 volter's for
the extra space for the Zinc/air cells. They said the
price is very cost competetive with ICE's.
Then they could just have batt racks at 200 mile
intervals along the interstates and major cities to
allow long distace travelm, large market.
The US does/ did? have Tax Credits, to pay for
these stations if they just would apply.
Well, one can wish. It seems like a viable
business plan. Start in the West coast and build out
from there.
