As you can see not only are we polluting the Earth with these gas-powered cars but were using our natural resources to use them. I understand that what is holding up the development of Electric Vehicles is patents that are held by one of the largest oil companies, but how long till Texaco realizes that we are in an economic recession and the gas powered cars is destroying the Earth. One of the major contributors to Global Warming. I’m Sure that there’s SOMETHING that can be dont to stop all the madness. Cant the president do something about it?
I don’t believe that this is a political Issue, what Chevron/Texaco hold it the patent on one Battery, however there are companies that are make huge inroads in the development of new battery technology.
EEStor seems to be developing a new battery that will revolutionize the electric car industry.
