Default Re: NOVA - Car of the Future

Where's my choice for efficient EVs? Land of infinite variety? NOT! Last time i shopped a car all I ended up with was a 50 MPG Prius.

Why didn't Click and Clack ask the GM person about the "future car" of 10 years ago...the EV-1? where'd that battery tech end up? Well, Chevron holds the patent for the large-scale NiMH pack and the cars were crushed. THAT's the future...from the past. Wow, it boggles my mind that they didn't ask that when "40 miles and we're still waiting for a battery tech" was the answer the GM person gave when asked why the 'vapor' volt was not in production.

evnut.com for more info.

Stupid reallity conspiracies...
