Re: four elements for EV acceptance - or one alternative




   There is a way to make an ev that is less costly
than an ice. Make it light weight. It must be designed
to be an ev. This cuts weight,power needed and cost. 
     Composite construction is needed to cut weight
and cost for low rate production.                     
                            At 1200 lbs (600 lbs
batts) it uses little electricity, 100 watthours/
mile/50mph , and at battery replacement time you only
need 8 to 10 batts instead of 20 plus. Range will be
60 to 100 miles in this type of car. A 10 hp 3/phase 
genorator gives unlimited range.                      
                                Cost for a car like
this under $6,000 parts and labor in low rate
production(4/ month). Sell it for $10,000 and make
$4,000 each. When will we see this, soon I hope.
