![]() ![]() ![]() Credits: 17,564 | Who killed the Electric Car? I would have to strongly argue that it's the oil companies and their owners that have killed the electric car. Found an interesting YouTube video today regarding Electric Cars. YouTube - Who Killed the Electric Car trailer I quote an excerpt from the video: Quote:
So there you go, put the blame on the oil companies and the politicians.

![]() ![]() Credits: 5,282 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? The blame has already been put to them not only for the electric car but also for the war. Half the reason we are over there is for the oil. Electric cars saved the environment not once did it pollute the ozone nor did it cause any problems nor alot of money. I would agree when you say it's the oil company and the politics fault.

![]() ![]() ![]() Credits: 17,564 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? Great! That makes 2 of us that agree. This is an easy debate then. An all electric car by Mitsubishi is due for production for 2010 release. About $19,000. NO ENGINE. electric motors on the wheels. But somehow, I don't quite believe it will come to fruition.

![]() ![]() Credits: 5,282 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? There will also be a problem with Eletric cars to. I mean yes they are better but what if you are taking a long trip what are you to do then when your halfway down a road and you car stops? The same would go for solar powered cars and the sun what about at night? These are the questions that I am raising for this topic. I'm sorry to bring in the solar cars but I'm curious.

![]() ![]() Credits: 5,282 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? So what are you saying to carry an extra battery around with you? Then you have the one battery that is dead and the one thatyou are using. What are you going to charge your other one with? I'm not saying I disagree but I'm just looking at all points because I already said I agreed about the cars.

![]() ![]() ![]() Credits: 17,564 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? Simple. You have 2 batteries and you can charge the other battery at any convenience shop, restaurant or whatever that offers quick charge. Anyway, I'm more interested to know if anyone doesn't blame the politicians. They are power and money hungry and will only look after themselves not the people they are elected to govern. This is highlighted by the death of the electric car.

![]() ![]() Credits: 5,282 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? Politicans can careless what happens to us as long as they get paid. When the check gets messed with we have war in the politics. Hell when the twin towers were flown into Bush hid in a bunker. That was pitiful instead of helping he was hidding. He felt he was more important then the people and needed to be safeer then everyone else. When it was all over he came out of hidding and tries to act all big and bad. Now we are spending millions of dollars to fund the war in Iraq which I am sure more then half of it goes to the politics. As for power hungry they do not care what they do to ruin their competitions reputation as long as it is done and they get elected. Power hungry yes I'm just waiting for someone to be impeached. So that someone else can take their place.

However, DB has got it right. Taking the gasoline car out of commission would put a damper on America's economy and businesses. In this day and age of capitalism, no one is going to change something that is simply bringing in the $$ for all kinds of people. Because let's face it, we all love our cars. | |

![]() ![]() Credits: 261 | Re: Who killed the Electric Car? Have any of you yet thought about the amount of fossil fuels it takes to generate the electricity to charge the car battery? Also, today's current battery technology is not yet up to speed with the requirements for an all-electric vehicle. And those battery packs for electric vehicles are f'ing heavy. The high voltage battery used in Toyota's hybrids is over 400 pounds and takes up a good chunk of chassis space. With today's battery technology the battery required for an all-electric car is much heavier and much larger than a hybrid's battery. Taking a spare along doesn't make any sense. Personally I don't blame the politicians. For one thing, they're not smart enough to figure out what's going on with electric vehicles. Second, as a Toyota Motor Manufacturing employee AND a former battery researcher I am well aware of the current limitations on electric cars. Now just isn't the time for an all-electric car. The power systems required to make it practical just aren't available yet. Lithium-polymer batteries are almost there, we just have to hang on a bit longer and settle for hybrids and ULEV gasoline cars. GM yanked the EV-1 project purely on the basis that the numbers did not work out in a way that would make the shareholders happy.

I believe that Dragon Ball was wanting to know about the Politicians and last I checked Bush is the head Politican seeing as how he is the President. So read the post fully before stating that it has nothing to do with cars or what Dragon Ball wanted. It's not only Bush though I mean look at the government is anything they do really fair? Some can justify that it is right or some just turn their heads and say that it didn't happen but others don't like what the government is doing. Raising taxes for the stupidest of things for examples. I mean come on.
