Mark Winkworth EV movement in Finland

Just back from Helsinki where I interviewed members of the global EV conversion team at http://ecars-now.wikidot.com/ - the Finns have picked up a smart idea - why try to replace 1 billion cars on the road today when you could convert millions of them with existing EV technology? The MINI E I drive a case in point as BMW simply converted the existing platform (thanks to AC Propulsion) to qualify for the CA tax credit deadline that ended June 30. Warm and fuzzy zero emissions feelings I was havin… Continue

Dan Ditto WHO BUILT THE MOON BUGGY??????????

Remember the car the US Astronauts took to the moon? That was a long time ago, but I wonder if that company still builds electric cars.

In the US it is more prfitable to pursue defense contracts. I don't think this is a technology problem in the US, but a profit problem. Continue
