Electric Cars for 2010: Shift from Foreign Oil to Riding on Local Renewable Energy [View article]
If EEStor produces it's capacitor this year as planned and as described, this article and all the comments above become irrelevant. Focus, people.
An EV uses 1/4 the energy of a combustion-based vehicle of the same weight due to the inefficiency of the engine. If EEStor succeeds, today's solar cells with an EV would be cheaper than today's gasoline-powered vehicles. With lithium and carbon composites, it's also possible, except there's not enough lithium. There's plenty of barium and titanium for EEstor.
