I was contacted by an automotive reporter earlier this week about the test. I predicted that the batteries would be sealed lead acid so that nobody could do an electrolyte test to determine actual state-of-charge and that they would have a "mechanical failure" of some kind prior to the vehicle reaching 50 miles. They would then allow people to measure the batteries' voltage, and make a big show about how the voltage was climbing after the test, indicating that their device was actually charging them. Amazing how this is what happened. Funny, I can demonstrate the same rising voltage on my electric S-10 after a moderate drive, and it doesn't have a Tilley device on it!
Interesting also that they made a comment on their website that the car couldn't even go 10 miles without their device hooked up, an important way for them to be able to boast about its range-boosting effects, because with this kind of ludicrous low-ball range value, even with the car going 20 miles, they could claim range doubling prior to the "mechanical failure". -Tom Thomas Hudson http://portdistrict5.org -- 5th District Aldermanic Website http://portev.org -- Electric Vehicles, Solar Power & More http://portgardenclub.org -- Port Washington Garden Club http://portlightstation.org -- Light Station Restoration
