Electric cars have always been fascinating. The idea of soaring power, feeling
like an airplane's effortless takeoff, with maximum power from a standing start, has only been limited by the difficulty
of carrying along enough electric energy to drive a long distance. But most gas is burned on short trips, less
than 40 miles per day.
Electric locomotives have become the standard, because
a big motor gives a degree of control not possible otherwise. Diesel-Electric locomotives get their electric from
energy-dense diesel, and all-electric locomotives, buses and trollies use transmission lines to power the Electric
traction motor. Electric earthmoving machinery in this format has become standard for the same reasons.
Big Oil and their captive auto industry depend on Internal Combusion
("IC") for their profits, and have fought production and sale of Electric cars. |

With the poisonous dependence on overseas
oil imports bankrupting our treasury and poisoning our kids lungs,
the move to plug-in oil-free cars is a matter of survival.

An oil-free vision for America:
why not use our ingenuity to solve the problem!

GM joins oil
com
pany fight against this vision

|
GM is IGNORING NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE!
|
| |
| But don't take this on faith: explore any answer GM
has for why it crushed the working, running EV1 all-electric car, with 140 miles all-electric range, and wasted
two years already making models of a possible 40-mile-range EV!! |
| View the analysis of serial hybrids, what GM calls "EREV" |
GM had the NiMH batteries, and NiMH are still running in Toyota RAV4-EV.
GM sold control of these great batteries to Chevron, which then funded a lawsuit against Toyota, which stopped
their use in plug-in cars.
Why does an oil company, CHEVRON, the successor to Standard Oil of California, own control of the only proven EV
batteries? |
| |
| Why search for Lithium, when the NiMH EV1 went over 140 miles on a charge? The search for Lithium ignores existing,
proven lead and NiMH batteries, which ran the successful EVs of the past and present. |
| |
| By searching for Lithium, GM is just delaying again! |
| |
| GM is posponing production of the so-called VOLT by ignoring proven successful batteries. |
| |
|
But see if GM answers these arguments! GM has tons of advertising money, the ear of sleazy
reporters, and no one wants to ask them the tough questions: like
Why is GM not admitting the truth about the batteries?
Why not produce the EV that works, the EV1?
Why is GM still suppressing volunteer-restored EV1?
Why is GM failing to admit that it already had an
"Extended Range EV" (EREV) back in 1998??
