june 30, 2006 ATT’N:EV-World Gentlemen: With the present EVs there
is too much anxiety for the owner to feel free to travel long distances. The
alternative is one minute battery swap stations and they also interface with
my high speed maglev system presented to US DOT which was selected “top gun”
by a TRW study for the DOT back in the 1960s’. A few years ago transportation
interests finally saw a new direction from my web site and are now trying to
claim it as theirs.–As is,the plug-in EV has its limitations. So the EV in
the future will be part of a bigger infrastructure to suit everyone’s advantage.
GM is now even considering my seperation of the passenger capsule from its
bottom carrier. Which they call the AUTOnomy skateboard. (the motorized wheels,
support frame, including the swap batteries). My upper capsule will also
withstand a vacuum negative pressure while traveling at very high speeds
exceeding the Concorde. It’s a “whole new ball game”. And …no.! EVs are
not dead –the’re coming. -OIL..Let ‘em shove it..!! Check this web site–

If battery swapping speeds the uptake of EVs it can only help. I remember rental being a big business in the early days of colour TV until manufacturing volumes becaome large enough for the price to drop to an insignificant % of disposible income.

Having battery rental as an option in the early days of EVs is a huge opportunity, although the business may eventually find it’s home mostly on interstate highways.
