Comments on: GM Admits to a Working Relationship With EEStor http://gm-volt.com/2009/02/01/gm-admits-to-a-working-relationship-with-eestor/ Real-time news, information, and discussion about the Chevrolet Volt.

NiMH still seems a viable alternative to what is being supplied to the electric vehicle market. There have, however, been stories that NiMH batteries are being ignored for unknown reasons. Beyond that, EEStor has interesting CLAIMS for its EESU technology. Dick Weir promised a pre-production unit by the end of 2009 in the leaked interview that has spread widely around the Internet. We are fast approaching the end of that promised delivery, and not one word whether his statements will become a reality. This company is accumulating all the earmarks of a scam, since they have been making these promises for a number of years now. GM spokespeople claim to have proprietary knowledge they are unable to divulge and are even unwilling to state whether their expectations are for a successful demonstration of EEStor's technology. That seems pretty strange if GM is receiving the type of information that warrants interest on their part. It is very unfortunate that we have to view those who have risen to the top managements of America's largest companies as bandits on the take for the public purse. The major banks and the central banking industry are prime examples, that appear to be the road map on how to steal from the public purse, rather than putting at risk private investment capital, thus enriching any thief with a plausible story.

We need to probably trust that GM will only buy a product if it is of quality, but I honestly don't think that this technology for auto apps will be ready in the short term As I skeptical? yes. But I will wait and see before I form a proper opinion :) the interview does not give much away..I guess for obvious reasons.

Keep repeating : no prototype, no product. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Has Eestore applied for the government grants like A123 Systems ? Of course not, because in order to do that, they would have to have a demostratable product. The experts about ultracapacitors have spoken on these forums, and THEY have said it can't be done. And along comes Weir, with little training in ultracapacitors, and he 'says' he can make it work. The problem is........................... he still can't figure it out. The experts were right. Weir is just buying more time, and selling more smoke. Eestore should be forgotten about, except if you want a good laugh ! Weir is the Bernie Madoff of energy storage. Keep repeating : no prototype, no product. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

But I would not expect it for another decade or so. Actually, Lithium Iron Phosphate is the technology of choice... for now. Watch out for A123 batteries, Lithium Technologies or Tenergy. All are showing very promising results from battery tests. Again, I hope EEstor works...... but I doubt it will work for a while. I hope EEstor works.
