Renzo, Ah, a question that has been posed but never outright answered. We know that the Cube was used for testing during the NS test period. We know that Axion hadn't used it much for "behind the meter applications" as of 6 months ago. They were waiting for new FERC rules to set payments. Now we know that we get 1.9 times the rate because of the speed of the Cube.
However, Axion has never put out a statement as to how long a payback period could be. Never a peep about the cost vs potential reward for a datacenter or large building or other user.
Personally I don't get it. This application allows the perfect shallow cycling that the PbC loves. I thought it would be an early winner. Obviously, putting it on a train is a more sought after application.

Rick, Perhaps it is just the business spirit in me, but I can't believe the American car companies would just let a new concept or design be swept overseas, without first testing the idea. If our large businesses are waiting for small innovators to show them the way they will be disappointed. Foreign money is still survival money to a small enterprise.

Carlos, Thanks for the link. I found this interesting at the end of the article.
""We need, at various levels, some kind of breakthrough so we can make this technology more robust and safe," added Chalasani, who declined to specifically discuss his time at Boeing. Chalasani is not working on that lithium-ion breakthrough. He's working at East Penn Manufacturing Co on advanced lead-acid batteries."

"It is hard to believe, though, that something with as much potential as suggested by the article has not gotten enough attention from U.S. military and industrial concerns to produce the engine here. "
I agree D-INV, When it sounds to good to be true... This new engine company, located in Michigan, just teamed up with the Chinese to build a factory. No one in say "Detroit" would want anything to do with a smaller, lighter, more powerful, more efficient engine.

Can't see where anything, except for testing news, will come out of ePower very soon. After full testing. Maybe the next order. But they have a lot of info to collect and disburse to their customer base.

I would be happier if she were buying a coconut farm. Carbon fiber for body parts is man made carbon, not natural fiber. But it was a great connection JR. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
I did not know that BMW was close to BK at one time. And I had never heard of the man who saved it. Very interesting.

Best Bday wishes to HTL on his day. Belated wishes to Wayne in Oregon. Thanks to all for their kind words. I actually had no idea as to the age of the participants but one gets the feeling that experience dwells on this site. But I love hearing some of the young enthusiasm from the members, no matter what age.

$2 Million in cash on December 30,2012 $2.8 Million in inventory on that same date. $1.1 Million per quarter spent on R&D $1.1 Million per quarter spent on Administration.
Yes, they could stretch it out into May. But since no layoffs have been announced I have to believe the financing is under control.
If I'm wrong, well, it won't be the first time. But she that controls my life is going to be really upset.
My 60th birthday on Thursday. I'm pretty sure TG is just waiting to give me a big surprise. Sorry you guys had to wait just for my pleasure.

Millhouse, I'm not sure you understand the swap correctly. You buy the car w/no battery. The filling station ( swap center) changes your battery every time its low with a new set of batteries. Just like filling up your car with gas. It takes less than one minute. It is an automated system. The batteries are cared for by experts at charging. The batteries are charged during times of low cost grid electricity. Batteries are tested so you never get a bad battery.
That is the theory of battery swap. Indelco has pointed out barriers to entry. I would agree that it is difficult to accomplish. I simply think it is the best scheme for getting EVs affordable and to eliminate range anxiety. But I would agree it is not likely here.
Kandi is attempting this in China. But there you have massive government intrusion forcing the situation in cities where they can not have more noxious fumes spewing from automobiles.

You must be a genius. I remember that at age 27 I knew everything.

Much different social and structural situation.
