Hello;

I thought you would like to know of my following activity recently:

I saw a GEM EV on the street near my home.

I asked the owner if he charges his car from the sun. He said, "no".
He said he charges it by plugging into his house current every night.

I then made the following placard and stood by his car while it was
parked on the street. The placard read:

"This electric car is one of the WORST polluting vehicles in the
world! The batteries in this car are NOT charged with CLEAN solar
energy. The batteries are charged with house current which is
generated by POLLUTING electric companies. Companies which continually
emit carbon dioxide and who knows what else!

SAVE THE PLANET BY NOT BUYING ONE OF THESE CARS !
(that is- unless they come with solar panels) "

Just about every person who read my sign- agreed with my statement.
When the owner returned, he was somewhat distressed. (which was not my
intent-hopefully, he will go out and buy some solar panels)

I just want you to know that I plan to show my (above) sign next to
YOUR EV if I ever see it on a street.

I will do this UNLESS:

1. Your company gets rid of the 110v ac plug on your car.

2. Your company provides the car with a REMOVABLE battery pack.

3. Your company sells an extra battery pack or more with the car.

4. Your company sells an array of solar panels (with a decent
warranty)which is enough to charge the extra battery pack in 8 hours
of sunlight! (while the driver is out driving his car)

In other words; there is enough sunlight in just about every place
on earth to charge an extra battery pack in 1 to 4 days. The packs can
be made to be quickly and easily exchanged from panel to car, and vise
versa by the owner. (by hand or with a wheeled dolly) There is no
reason to plug your car into the grid!

I am declaring WAR on plug-in vehicles!

I hope I've made my position clear on this.

Sincerely, Michael Korman

hey man!!
polution is a factor but at this time not the most important
there are prior factors
1
to lower the energy price that is becoming impossible
2
the lectric car has to be developed while
looking further to future
**while other finer sources of electricity will be developed *(*(and
you bet
they will be ** it si mainly a matter of investment )
and in future you will have the luxury to be a chooser
as for now
there is stil a long wat ubtill batteries will be developed to answer
the problem satisfactory
so to sum up"
betetr batteries and mass production of electricity
for instance fusion !!!
