It seems that the country is finally becoming aware that                                the electric vehicle is here to stay.                                                              More and more car manufacturing companies are building                           and promoting hybrid cars.                                                                          The ”all electric” car is now being also considered for local              production  by the big 3.  However there are major problems.                          The batteries.                                                                                                 1. WEIGHT. Lead acid and Lithium-ion weigh about 1,300 lbs.   

2. DISTANCE. you can get only about 40 miles from a home charge.              

3. PRICE. You can pay big bucks for batteries that will last only a            short recharge time before they start to go bad (2 to 3 years).

4. CHARGE TIME.  The average full charge time is 8 hours

WHAT WE NEED IS A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN BATTERY                 TECHNOLEDGY.                                                                                       

NEWS FLASH: Maybe its here.                                               

A company in Texas called EEStor has received a patent in               December 2008 on for an ultracapacitor that  is not a battery                     but is more efficient.

1. WEIGHT: Just 282 pounds.

2. DISTANCE: It will take you 5 to 10 times further. 

3.  PRICE: Has not been established but there is no                            chemicals involved and lower priced materials, also                                     easier to manufacturer and will last the life of the car.

4. CHARGE TIME: The company claims that it take                                        10 minutes for a full charge. 

The Zenn Automobile Company from Canada has invested                        into this company and say they will have the device in there                        all electric vehicles in the fall of 2009.

LETS ALL HOPE A PRAY THAT THIS COMES TO PASS.
