I am here because I believe in the electric car, I think that we should be trying to put as many of them on the street as we can. I know there will always be a place for the gas car, but the time for the electric has come. We need to get off middle east oil. We need to stop sending exhaust into the air. We need to be better at taking care of the world we live in and make what we do easier on the earth. that leads me to the thing that is stopping the electric car and that is the battery. The biggest thing for the Electric car is the Batteries. If we can develop great batteries at a cost that is not going to make the car out of reach then the electric car will not only survive but will grow like a great tree. Branching out and touching everyone lives and making the world greener with every gas car we can get off the streets. I know that we can have green power from the wind,solar,Hydro,Pump storage, and Nuke's. These all produce green power that we can use to charge up our Electric cars. But again we need to have a great battery that will hold charges a long time and deliver it with out the over heating that the older batteries have been having. I know that the present battery are not friendly to land fills, and that too is a problem, unless they find a way to recycle the battery. that to me is the correct answer, a good battery that does not overheat, hold a long steady charge and can be recharged many, many times. then when they are wore out can be recycled again to make new batteries. then the electric car will be a going venture. lwalth http://electricdemise.blogspot.com Lee A Walth

Hi Lee & Bill, Thanks for joining our forum and good luck with your site. I would like to make a comment to your statement above. Batteries do not belong to the landfill. A way to recycle batteries is not something that has to be invented. The technology is already here for years and practised in many countries. Batteries that do not overheat when charged are reality as well. I own an EV and I can assure you that a modern lithium battery warms up only little when recharged. NiCd batteries had a very different behaviour and they warmed up releatively easily during recharging. But thats (battery)history. My lithium battery also holds a long steady charge. The self discharge rate is very low, it's not a problem anymore to go on a vacation and leave your car parked for e.g. three weeks. Although there is no long term experience wth lithium batteries, you can recharge them many times. I have a guarantee for 1500 cycles or 3 years on the battery and if I calculate 50 miles for each charge, that equals to 75'000 miles. Not a bad number if you consider that this the minimum you can expect. So to sum it all up: The EV is a going venture and we can happily delete the 'will be' in your statement  Cheers, Stefan Twike 890
