It is awesome for such a large company like Google to get involved with Cleantech and the green movement. With this Electric plug-in car, they are really paving the foundation for other large similar companies to soon follow.

Hi Why not diesel electric ? I think hybrids are too complicated and how do you recycle the batteries ? I would like a pickup/car, an electric motor , no planetary gears etc. on each wheel, obviously the best battery available, no gas engine or drive train, solar roof panels and a small two or three cylinder diesel generator about 15-20 hp to help out and get you home .

A fundamental change in our driving habits is now required.

The Automobile Industry is going to be in the same position as the Airline Industry in the next few months. Unless we get away from gas combustion vehicles, including Hybrids, the automobile industry (as we know it) will die.We need to make drastic moves. America needs to move to ELECTRIC. The vehicles are not as fast, not always as fun to drive, but the move will save Americans money (Billions) and help bring change to our automotive companies. Let's "Be Green"!!!!!!!!!!!! BG Automotive Group Ltd. has a car that will travel 80-100 miles per charge for $15,995. Finally a car that most Americans can afford. Did you know that 80% of all drivers, drive less than 50 miles per day? This new car will cost an equivalent of $0.20-0.25 cents/gallon (depending on electricity rates in your area). Why send $700 Billion per year to OPEC (now buying up U.S. companies) when we can use this money for our schools, health care, social security for all Americans, etc, etc, etc. We can make the difference if WE change.

I am interested in the total weight of the car, the wheel size, the motor specifications, Are one or two motors used, the drive ratio between the motor(s) and wheel(s) and the specifications of the cells used. How else would I be able to compare? James Hill

I for one am grateful to read about this. You folks at GOOGLE rock! I am so proud of each of you working on this program.

I believe your success will also be the world’s success.

Go for it and don't let OPEC or other big greasy oil folks stop you from the worlds dream of an alternative fuel!

Green energy is definitely the best solution in most cases. Technology like solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, zaps electric vehicles, EV hybrids, etc have come so far recently. Green energy even costs way less than oil and gas in many cases.
