Im stripping an s10 to build an EV. All together should cost 3-4k.

BTW, just to clarify, even 40K is a very expensive car which is the proposed price of the Volt. Electric cars should be priced a lot cheaper if they want to widespread since most people just can't afford 40K cars!

While it's certainly possible right now, I think the problem is that the RAV4EV is quite an expensive vehicle...that, and the fact that Toyota can't make the batteries anymore after being sued by Texaco/Chevron.

Yes, but atleast companies like toyota have learned their mistakes and are making a plug-in Prius. GM is just making a weak electric car.

This is such a beautiful car, and it is a tradgety that GM and the oil companies killed this future. This was a mass produced and sucessful ALL ELECTRIC car. Those bastards should be shot for killing it.

The patent got Chevron $30M from Toyota, and shamed Toyota.

The Tesla is based on the T-zero, which was created by the same folks who were kicked off the EV1 program. They went to Lithium since they could not get good lead-acid batteries (after JCI bought optima), and because NiMH won't put out the power (800A).

You're just repeating Bob Lutz' lies. No one knows what it would have cost GM to make the EV1, if GM had been honest; by lying about the EV1, GM's figures are UNTRUSTWORTHY. |
