Hey everyone! This is my first post on the forum, and I thought I'd share some news I just came across about a great new resource. A new book was just published which is a really informative resource and introduction to electric cars, which tells the history of them, and compares them to combustion engines and hydrogen. I really believe in electric cars, and this book... If you're interested, you can search for it on Amazon...Thanks for your time, you guys are awesome!


Two Cents per Mile
Groundbreaking new book that offers solution for President Obama to free Americans from foreign oil’s grip
The U.S. patented NiMH traction batteries, currently owned by Chevron Corporation, are the most crucial elements in improving the US economy, our transportation system and our environment. Will President Obama Make these batteries available to American People with the Stroke of a Pen?
Two Cents Per Mile, the groundbreaking new book penned by electrical engineer Nevres Cefo, examines the development of 100% electric vehicles at the end of the 20th century and their subsequent suppression in the first few years of the 21st century. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the collusion between the automotive and fuel industries to preserve the status quo and prolong the use of the internal combustion engine and liquid fuel. Two Cents Per Mile demonstrates that we are being led to a very dangerous and expensive Hydrogen fuel economy while the technology behind the extremely successful and advanced electric vehicle is being suppressed by Big Oil. The book calls upon Americans to take action by requesting that President Obama exercise eminent domain over these powerful NiMH car battery patents.

This technology will immediately position the United States as the world leader in cutting edge development of alternative fuel, alternative energy, and advanced transportation systems. These patents will free us from foreign oil dependence.

Two Cents Per Mile: Will President Obama Make it Happen with the Stroke of a Pen?
is published by Nevlin LLC and is available for purchase at Amazon.com. The direct link to the book on Amazon is: http://bit.ly/2centspermile

and you can visit the book's website it: http://www.twocentspermile.com


In 2003 “FreedomCAR” (Freedom Cooperative Automotive Research) was created as a public-private partnership between: The U.S. Department of Energy, BP America, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Shell Hydrogen, and the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) a partnership among Daimler/Chrysler, Ford Motor Company and General Motors.
What are the oil and automotive corporations doing together?

Two Cents Per Mile shows how Americans have been systematically misinformed and trapped with only one option for their future transportation needs: the internal combustion engine and liquid fuel. Meanwhile, hundreds of Americans have been driving 100% electric vehicles (EVs) for the past ten years, proving the advanced technology of the NiMH battery.

Author Nevres Cefo holds a BSEE (Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering-Energy Productions and Distribution. Cefo has extensive international engineering and business experience in research and development, energy systems, high and low volume manufacturing, the automotive industry and turn around management spanning more than 25 years in Europe and the United States.[url=]

Thanks for the pointer evlover and welcome in our forum.

Most of the users here are very well aware of the problem of gas powered vehicles, so no big news for them. But I am sure the book would open the eyes of many people out there, no question. When I drive my electric vehicle, I see many smiling faces. But there are also the others who think its all just a media hype, this talking about going green and protecting the environment.

In my opinion many are ignorant, misinformed or just don't care! Other problems are occupying their minds. Or they think, solutions will come their way.

Changes will come, no doubt they will. Because there are people who care, people who make things happen. In the end we all have to change, sooner or later. Because if we don't, human kind will enter stormy weather.

Humans are relatively weak creatures and we got strong and dominating on this planet because we have the skills to work together. Why did we build up all the big polluting industries? Because we needed them to cope with the exponential growth of human kind. But also because we wanted to build a better place for us.

Example Shopping Mall: A great place for people to shop, to get what they need, to increase their (materialistic) wealth. Pharmacies, Food, Clothing - it all helps to live a more comfortable life. BUT, we have neglected the downsides. The increased traffic, the ecological footprint of products shipped around the world, processed foods, ...all these negative effects bundled together are becoming a threat to our existance. We will stop this unsustainable lifestyle when we realize that it does more harm than it helps.

In the past we risked our lives when walking/hunting in the wilderness. Today we get hit by an oversized car on the road or suffer health problems from an inadequate lifestyle.
