It looks like there are two things that the EVDL admin and I disagree on. I respectfully submit that you are wrong about the EPIC being named "InTRAurban" when it is in fact "InTERurban". That may be misuse of the terminology, but unfortunately you or I didn't name it. I have added a couple of photos to my EValbum entry to prove my point. While we are on the subject you might like to know that "I" authored the information for the TEVan on Wikipedia. Someone later edited it and at that time added the info for the EPIC, (which is wrong). I have not bothered to correct it. Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation on the internet about both the TEVan and the EPIC, including the assertion that the EPIC concept vehicle showcased in 1992 was to have a 4 cylinder engine and nickel-iron batteries. They did get the Nickel-Iron batteries right though. I'd especially like to thank Roger Stockton and Rod Hower for their help. They were among those who responded and now I have more avenues to persue.
