Hi Al and All,
We really don't need better batteries though
they would really help, we new low drag gliders so you don't
need much battery, EV drive.
Just switching to composite uni-bodies drops
it's weight 50% which in turn drops the EV drive hp needed
and the batts needed, ect, lowering real costs to much lower
than ICE's. And yes the lowly GC batt can do this.
That's why Lee Hart is doing the Sunrise 2
and I'm doing the Freedom EV to get superior performance at
a reasonable cost.
And there are several good Li batts out
there, Kokam, A123, ect that don't need more research but
orders!! I recently got in the Tampa Trib, St Pete Times
letter to editor on just that and other EV points.
The way I see it is in about 3-4 yrs li
price will be competitive with lead so putting in a lead
pack now for around a 100 mile projected range with 55-60%
battery weight, then switch to Li when they get reasonable
after the lead pack dies in 4-7 yrs. But with 100 mile range
and a small gen I expect to not really need Li at all.
I'd use the $150b on various RE which has
for the last 2 yrs more added cap than oil, gas or coal!!
Cars that get 100mpg which means in reality either EV's or
plug in hybrids and subcars under 1500lbs, personal
transport modules and roads for slow, light vehicles like
mopeds, GC's, NEV's can get around town safely, homes that
supply their own power, and charge their EV's all could
easily be done, all in loans so it comes back to make more
RE.
What's amazing is why it hasn't happened
yet!! But the sheeple are starting to notice they have no
money so finally changing they behavior, voting in better
people.
Remember where there is a problem, there is
opportunity!! Lot's of money to be made in EV's, Transport
modules and RE. Fla just passed, Gov Crist signed Net
Metering and many other good RE programs but can't seem to
find out what they actually say, details yet. With the
electric rates all around Fla going up 25-50% over the next
couple yrs, there is money to be made.
