You're right, 40 miles on a charge is an insult; my AC Propulsion eBox gets 120+ miles on a charge. (from Andrew's post)
You are so right, Andrew. Ev1, also, had a range of way over 100 miles. Those folks who let themselves get excited over a 40 mile range have bought into the big automaker's grandiose shell game. People who either have studied the history of EV development or are old enough to remember some things, know that 40 mile range is really somehow a dumbed down EV. Speaking of history, I know something really exciting that might be happening soon in Tallahassee, FL. Hint...Spyder Juice...Only EV historians will know this important piece of EV history...I will say no more for now...Shhhhhh...Fran ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'FLEAA Mailing List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [FLEAA] interesting Volt article > Hi Jeff, > > It took them long enough, too long. > EVs are here and will become more prevalent as the range increases and the > charge time decreases. > Electric vehicles will become the predominant technology in the future > because the combustion technology is destroying our planet and our future. > You would think a large company like GM would better understand the big > picture, but I guess they wasted too much time micro managing everything. > You're right, 40 miles on a charge is an insult; my AC Propulsion eBox > gets > 120+ miles on a charge. > The next step in battery technology will give my car 300+ miles on a > charge > in approximately 3 to 5 years. > Gas is a dead technology; it just doesn't know it yet. > > Andrew > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 8:15 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [FLEAA] interesting Volt article > > What a great article.
