Major Breakthrough in Electric about to happen - I understand...

[Sled Dog]

2 min 19 sec of tabloid type, zero content journalism, continually re-asking same question, assigning politically correct blame and zero evidence of journalistic issue research.



It's a propaganda article.



Battery technology, not conspiracy, holds back electric car production.



Want to be Bill Gates rich, 10 times over?



Invent a battery that stores energy equal to tank of liquid fuel.



The car battery performance in those test vehicles was horrible when you look at full cycle lifetime battery performance spec sheet.



In 1957 there was a Chevy guy that modified his carberator and it got 60 mpg and he sold it to some big oil company and they locked it away... ,



There's so much market demand/reward for next generation battery development that no single industry (oil) can hold back what scientists worldwide have been working on for many years.



It's just a tough nut to crack but someday someone will.



It'll be a Ben Franklin, Nikola Tesla moment in history.

Ya might wanna watch, the Whole Film before making a "Tabloid Type, Zero Content Comment".

Battery Technology has existed since the 90's. You would know that had you sought out the information.

Chevron bought the company from the Inventor and Shelved it.

Oh yeah, Mel Gibson is just Lying.

SD,



The link I commented on was the one you posted, 2 min 19 sec long, I watched all of it. Zero tech content.



If you're refering to the documentary movie EV, I've not watched it but have followed its technical debate on other websites by some pretty solid science based contributors.



EV used NiCad (nickel cadmium) battery technology for that era.



Lithium Ion is a newer incremental (small) improvement but nowhere's near the technology breakthrough implied in the link posted.



The spec sheet and lifetime performance analysis of those two battery technologies just doesn't measure up to documentary claims.



If there's a better battery technology I'm unaware of, please post the link, I'll gladly read it.



I'm a life long techie, 100% believer in new technologies and whole heartedly welcome every new introduction that performs up to its billing.



Current battery technologies for automobiles do in fact perform just barely marginally ok, but in a much more limited application than what the documentaries imply and you still have to turn a blind eye to a huge pollution/carbon footprint resulting from manufacturing, short lifespan and disposal of those batteries, just to be able to acknowledge their limited performance.



There's far too much market demand and potential profit for any one industry segment (oil) to hide/quash a proven or even high potential line of research in todays internet world.



I'm a chestnut horse that doesn't buy into horse chestnuts.

Your riding pretty hard on NiCad, considering its enough to make us energy independent, over 10 years ago. .



Check the entire film, and see if you still feel the same way.

Thanks for the link.



I've deleted my last post until I can get through all that data.



I do stand by my position on NiCad battery technology. Worked well in its time relative to anything else out there.



Thanks again for the link, I'm reading... ,
