Don, biofuels is a dead end road that we should not go down. Still polutes and more importantly drives up food prices. It is a limited resource and as I said will compete with food production resources. EV is the only solution for this country. I dream of the day when most primary vehicles are EV in this country. I just watched a show on life in the United Arab Emirates and how they don’t have income tax, have free healthcare, free electric and water. Well my friends how can that be? Well we pay for that with the billions we send daily for oil. Our young die in wars fighting for the stuff, we spend billions of our tax dollars to insure we have steady access to the stuff. So much pollution is created from it every day. Battery technology is here and electrical capacitor technology is close enough for us to move to EV.
Terrorism is funded by oil money. The middle east has so much of our money they don’t know what to do with it. Lets pull the plug on there pipeline of money and get them worried about feeding themselves so they can stop terrorizing us.
Please research this and vote accordingly. We need everyone on this as oil money lobbyists’ will fight this tooth and nail.

What worries me a lot is this “average” human behaviour: < 100miles per day, 2 cars.

First of all, let me say that I’m 100% with the author regarding a more sustainable way of life and cutting down the luxuries we have.

Yet, being a working person who does lots of trips, a 100mile (164km) daily quota is very often NOT sufficient for my needs. And at that time I would certainly not like to be in the middle of nowhere with an empty battery and nowhere to charge it. So, at least some hydrogen alternative would be more than welcome.

Now, the author makes another BAD assumption… that the whole world is the States, where everybody (apparently) has 2 or more cars, one for daily stuff and one for play/recreation. In my country and many other, this is not the case. The one car we have has to be good for all things. So, again, another no-no from me.

Just as a update to a older thread, apparently it is worth nothing. Bob back peddled, and said the G8 (and any other future sister cars) are dead.

What is happening with eestor’s ultracapacitor concept? If this product becomes a reality either by eestor or someone else, a lot changes in the EV World.
