@@seanperdue232 my neighbor owns two EVs, a TESLA and a Nissan Leaf. He has a TESLA solar roof and power wall, so used solar to charge his vehicles. He sells the excess energy back to the utility company which is Austin energy. Austin energy gets about 20% of its power from West Texas solar and wind power and getting more and more of it every year. It's goal is to close it's natural gas power plant sometime in the 2030's. I'm planning to get solar roof too next year and in a few years my first EV which will be a Tesla. Tesla plans to make a EV that will sell for less than 25K in the next two years. Must be a good sign also that TESLA just started building what will be its largest car factory this summer here in Austin. Can't wait to get off gasoline and maintenance of having and ICE vehicle.

but you are forgetting about what they are saying how expensive the cars cost to make and then Gm literally collects them and sends them to the auto wrecker to destroy them instead of selling them that's the funny and at the same time sad part pointed out in this documentary

I'd love for gas prices to be 5.59 a gallon, or 1.30 Euro per liter in Europe... Do you wanna know where gas prices peaked at here so far? 2.42 Euro per liter. That's $8.99 a gallon!

Years ago there was a great documentary called by the same name as this video, "Who Killed The Electric Car". It used to be free on KZbin at this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp3aqH-fqKydfpo The Huell Howser clip and possibly a couple of the other clips on this video were from that video. I would guess that informative video was killed by the same money-grubbing big business consumer-be-damned attitude of people that killed the electric car. It's really sad that video is not made free for the educational enlightenment of the general population. Some information just should not be kept secret and out of the public's domain, such as GM's anti-electric consumer vehicle stance and C.A.R.B.'s spineless anti-consumer waffling from GM's pressure. I'm all for capitalism but after 20 years or so, especially things of American historical importance, just should not be kept from the American public or force the American public to pay for the information. Anyone agree with me? I test-drove an EV1 and it was very fast, (it could spin the tires when already going 30mph) and it was very quiet. As I recall in that video it was shown GM sold the battery technology (which they admitted was far superior to their Delco batteries) to Texaco who, of course, just buried it. And GM refused a million-plus dollar payment for the last few EV's stating it would rather crush the last few cars than accept any payment amount for them. Great business attitude. Any high-school kid with a modicum of business savvy could have made a better business decision than that. Stockholders should have demanded the immediate resignation of GM's management.

Thing is people are now aware of what the govt is trying to do that people in 2006 would have thought was out of this world. The electric companies can raise prices and place a tax or a fee on your electric bill now designated as a road tax fee. And you don't think that will be manipulated? States are already imposing fees on registration renewal for EVs, for example, WA state adds $200 to the already high registration fees. The average cost to renew vehicle registration without the EV charge in WA is approximately $500/year and then throw that EV fee on there. Plain and simple the govt will continue raising these fees and also make people more dependent on electricity to which can be shut off on you for any reason. Solar is a big joke because you have to have a southern facing roof to be able to qualify for incentives. And even then, the lease payment on panels is about $300 per month. And then the power conpany gets to regulate when you get to net meter to recharge your battery system. Its a lose lose for the consumer, but hey, if it makes you sleep better at night thinking paying all this money because you think you're helping the planet, then enjoy.

Well from all sorts of sources, not all of them are clean, but what many people forget, is that even an EV that is completely powered by coal, is still less harmful than a combustion engine car. This is because large scale power plants are much more efficient than a comparably tiny combustion engine, apart from that, the exhaust is not in city centers with those, meaning even if they were just as bad for the climate, they'd still be way better for your health.

Karl Benz and Chemistry and Physics killed it. He needed a power source for his new internal combustion engine and 'Patent Motor Car' and realised that batteries lacked the energy density required (specific ebergy). Originally his car ran on a variant of medical ether although that name was misleading. Gasoline (Legroin or Petroleum Ether) was a by-product of refining oil for kerosene and used as a degreaser solvent. You bought it at Chemists or Pharmacists. It has 46MJ of specific energy. Diesel had 53MJ Teslas Li-On battery has O.85MJ

[@2nd3rd1st]

Regardless of MJ numbers, electric cars like the Model S Plaid are faster, more powerful and still more efficient than any combustion car for the same price or much higher prices for that matter. The at this point in time shorter range matters little with a ubiquitous and fast charging network. Had they invested in battery R&D back then instead of creating a whole new combustion industry we may have powered big rigs with a shoe box size battery today.

[@marcisgulbis9310]

@@2nd3rd1st Regenerative acceleration technology can recharge EV batteries while driving. RegenX generator can violate Lenz law, and create electricity without mechanical energy input. When Lenz law is violated, law of conservation of energy is violated along with Lenz law. Delayed Lenz effect proves that energy can be created. RegenX generator can create electricity without mechanical energy input, because armature reaction is delayed in time domain, and current start to flow, when magnet has already passed top dead center of the coil. Regenerative acceleration effect occurs above critical minimum frequency, around 1kHz. To get frequency above 1kHz, there is 20 magnets on rotor disk. RegenX coils is wound using bifilar wires. Bifilar windings have capacitance between wires. Capacitance between wires store energy in electrostatic field rather than electromagnetic field. When electrostatic field energy is discharged into load, generator coils create time delayed armature reaction.

There are two science fiction shows. Both have some silly time travel involved. But it was not what they were really about(like Star Trek on social issues of the time). Timeless and Continuum. It was about something more scary that does happen in our time. Corporations/Kabel's all the same. Control everything from our Justice system(see Clarence Thomas in the news) to ultimately who holds public office. And that includes The Office of The President. And this was from the beginning (see timeless)Our vote for the President does not count. It is made by Electors of the Electoral Collage(go look that up and get pissed off). That dont even have to cast there vote in favor of there popular vote in the place they are representing. So in fact there are 538 people in the United States. Who decides who will be. The Next President of the United States. I wonder how many people decide who will be your local County Judge and all that fall upward in between. And if 1984 happens(the Book) today. I will be on a list. Hi NSA!!! Disclaimer . This is not about Trump/whatever. This has been going on long before that.
