Replying to: thebike45 (Jan 23, 2007 10:15 pm) Toyota is NOT replacing he NiMH batteries, because they can't make them any more. Chevron's lawsuit stopped them. You can't get the EV-95 batteries at ANY price, except if you buy a RangerEV or Rav4-EV and disassemble it for the old, used batteries.   As usual, oil company flacks either are ignorant or purposefully lie. The EV1 was just as good when GM forcibly crushed it as when it was new.   None of the auto makers want to make an EV, that's the reason they fought so hard to STOP California's Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate.   Get it? They DON'T WANT to make EVs, they are making too much money selling you oil. The majority of GM stock is held by funds that hold far bigger stakes in oil companies. GM's total market value ($18B) is less than one years' profit from ONE oil company.

They are NOT using the original designs; those engineers are gone, they now work for ACPropulsion.com and Aerovironment.   GM would, if it were serious, rebuild the market for EVs using the EV1 fan club (yes, it still exists, http://EV1-Club.power.net ) and re-start the EV1 line. Instead, they closed it down, and arrested would-be EV1 buyers for blocking the sidewalk.

Replying to: michael2003 (Jan 18, 2007 4:27 am) The 1997 EV1, when outfitted with non-defective Panasonic lead batteries, and the 1999 EV1 with lead batteries (sold in Arizona, NiMH does well in cold but not hot) BOTH WENT OVER 100 MILES ON A CHARGE.   ON LEAD ACID.   IF GM WERE SERIOUS, THEY COULD RELEASE THE VOLT NOW WITH LEAD BATTERIES. STOP JIVING, AND GET IT: THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT, THEY JUST WANT TO GREENWASH THEMSELVES.

I hope Chevy puts a programmable timer in the Volt so that you can pre-heat/cool the car off the grid 120v prior to the morning commute. Replies to this message: reddroverr (Jul 29, 2008 11:45 am) circlew (Jul 29, 2008 11:57 am) paisan (Jul 29, 2008 12:12 pm) circlew (Jul 30, 2008 3:44 am)
