It is of importance that they are partnered with Project Better Place. This not only assures some baseline market, it also gives them opportunity to proof the technology ahead of worldwide roll-out.

Nissan/Renault plans on introducing a wide selection of product over a short period of time. Unlike GM they can succeed with smaller sales on each product. GM needs the Volt to be if not a grand slam then at least a solid triple. Nissan will consider it a success if they hit a few singles.

The more EVs (EREV, BEV all) to choose between the better in my mind.

#67 William – yes, recyclable.

After all IF YOU had a product that could do what Eestor claims their's can do what better client could you have than the world's largest automaker who's in hot pursuit of a revolutionary automobile that could benefit from this technology? Instead, you align yourself with an almost chaper 7 EV maker who's vehicle can't maintain highway speeds, and isn't allowed on roads in their homeland of Canada, and has the same need for publicity as you do, only for a different reason. What does this tell us? Do we join Linus in the pumpkin patch every Oct 31st, or do we move on with Li-ion technology? The answer is the same as GM has chosen, we move on with Li-ion technology. I'll state this again. PROVE me wrong Eestor and I'll be happy to admit I was wrong. Tag #64
