Seems fair to me. Roads cost money and if everyone drives an all electric vehicle... well they wouldn't for very long without this tax because there would little money dedicated to fixing them. You...

I want one. Am I correct in assuming that nothing get consumed other than the water. If so I want one. Sure it will not produce a bunch of energy but it will be free energy (after the initial...

What makes you say that. Unless you call 2 years soon enough! I have my doubts we will see anything other than more stalling.

Not so. Zenn only has the rights for cars under a certain weight. GM could bypass zenn and incorporate the EEStor device in the heavy SUV's and such.

I don't fully understand all of this talk but IF the purity of the powder is the go-nogo factor in wether this will work, it leads me to believe that it will eventually work as this issue is attacked...

I read all these new post for what... nothing. Basically everyone here has the same views... so let argue about it. ;)

Who disagrees with the points below.
1. Nobody here knows if the EEStor...

Early release??? I hope you are right but they just decided on the plant for the ICE and haven't announced the battery contract yet and just redesigned the layout of the engine and stuff.

Don't misunderstand I am looking forward to seeing EEStor meet there press releases more than anyone! If true this would change the world more than anything I can think of ever invented.

The firefly battery seems to be something like I was looking for. Vibration and pounding form waves and potholes cause plates in lead acid batterys to break. I can't count the number of 12 volt...

I don't think it would be a problem to use the lithium ion batteries to crank the ice.

But I am actually asking about something totally seperate from the Volt. I was actually exploring the...

Would a... could a.. lithium ion battery have enough amps at 12 volts to be used for cranking a car engine?

Call it cheap if you want but when you just added 10,000 dollars to the cost of living for the typical family of 5 you can't really call it cheap. The 10,000 dollars is for the purchase of gas,...

Well maybe there is something innovative like prolonging the life of the batteries that the solar power could be used for as well as keeping the inside of the car from reaching 140 degrees when...

The two year moretoreum has been removed on permits for solar projects... just and fyi.

If voltage can be used but only outside of the desired range (80-30) then it would be a simple matter to use a calculated measurement to disignate when we THINK the soc is at 80 or 30 and over time...

Hmmmm... well if they can successfully stop the charging process at 80% calculated on voltage or the rate of charge it might be an easy thing to just measure how much energy has been used and by...

Thanks for the info on them. Sorry for your loss.

But..... why waste money on a solar panel for the car when you can use that same solar panel on the house and not have any of the solar energy wasted. Any time the battery is charged and the car is...

Yep all I read is how the cost will come down eventually for Li below NiMH. I think it will be longer than most analyst are predicting though simply based on the huge demand that will have to be...

I may be way off here but I though voltage was a direct reflection of SOC.
