This is a long thread that has beat to death the subject of electric vehicles and electric elio in particular, but the most interesting subject is the first paragraph of the first post. That is, the Ryden dual carbon battery. It lies somewhere between 'astonishing' and 'too good to be true' The institution developing it is suppose to be very reputable. It generates no heat and thus does not need the internal cooling apparatus inside other battery packs. It has many other very good qualities. If this pans out, it is the break through needed. Electric vehicles will become so dominate, it may be difficult to find gas stations in the future. (Not good for me since I have 8 cars and 6 motorcycles).
I am an electrical engineer (EE) and only other EEs will see the significance of this.
