And that is why battery powered vehicles are available today but there

public.

Yup, your 110 kilowatt fuel cell the size of a bread box is gonna be

The battery powered vehicles SUCK. That's why you almost never see
them. (that would be just plain "never" around here.)

The reason you don't see fuel cells is because they're still developing
ones that can handle *thanol instead of straight hydrogen. Once that
happens, they'll be practical. An unlike batteries, they can be
refueled quickly.

Wouldn't be becasue AmeriKKKan auto makers have used every trick available

They know, once the infrastructure for electric exists, they are out of

of people like you who like to take their big hot rods up your ignorant gay

Now, shit sucker, tell us all about those non-existant 110 kilowatt fuel

Yup.. Much better than batteries, things that don't exist.

You mean like GM? I'm not a big fan of American cars, myself, but they

Practical batteries don't exist, either. Fuel cells show more promise.

Oh, wait, that's right, you're an uneducated moron who is just posting
stream of consciousness babble to various newsgroups. DAGS on "methanol
fuel cell" or "alcohol fuel cell" and you will see that while the
applications closest to prime time may be for small battery replacements
people are seriously considering them not only for vehicle powerplants
but also for large-scale stationary power production as well.

We seem to be hitting a wall in terms of battery energy density; no
great leaps forward have been made and most large capacity batteries
still in use are decades-old lead-acid technology.

Even ultracapacitors show more promise than batteries at this point,
barring new technology of which I'm not aware yet.

The fact of the matter is, the reason that we're still driving ICE
powered cars is that that is the most economical, practical technology
currently available. Dismissing out of hand new technologies that show
promise simply because of personal bias and based on a clearly
uneducated, non-engineering background is immature at best not to
mention irresponsible. Thank God you're not in any position to
determine energy policy.

(of course, sometimes I think that the people that *are* setting energy
policy are just as biased and uneducated as our offensive little friend

Ya, a honest effort at forcably taking those cars back from their drivers

Sounds like a decent effort at AmeriKKKan KKKorporate KKKorruption to me.

Nope. They are scrambling because the AmeriKKKan automotive Industry is

Becuase they are robust, inexpensive, and commonly available.

NmIh batteries exist on the market today an have done for a decade. I can
walk down to my local wallmart and pick one up. Along with a charger.

Where is your hydrogen fuel cell? Why doesn't wallmart carry them?

Would be nice, but they only have 1/100th the storage capacity of
batteries.

Meanwhile your fuel cells are nonexistant in the marketplace.

So are practical batteries, what's your point? It's ALL vaporware at
this point, and all exceeded in normal utility by an ICE.

With Nate Nagel claiming to be the final arbitor of what is "practical".

So Nate tell us why you believe non-existant fuel cells are more practical
than existing Lithium Ion batteries that are used in electric vehicles
today.

Balls.

It still wasn't a practical car for most people.

Here's the straight scoop from GM itself on the EV-1 program and its end.

http://www.americathegreen.com/2006/12/

(there's an applet that tries to run when you load that page, so don't
click the link unless you're confident in your security. Sorry, it's

Not for me. A range of 80 miles limits your maximum trip to half that
because you have to get back home to charge the vehicle.

I drive down to Atlanta once in a while and that's a 70 mile trip. I
also drive 600 miles to my Dad's in Florida a few times a year and to
my Mom's in Texas once a year or two.

Or charge it in route, or charge it at the other end, etc, etc, etc.

The car was designed as a luxury car, but is mostly suitable for a
commuter car.

And that's the market you are after - the principle use for automobiles.
Short distance commutes.

But at every step GM conspired to have the car be a failure. And then
when it wasn't. They took them from their users and crushed them in the
middle of the night.

yes, a range of 80 miles is bullshit, impractical, and unacceptable for

BULLSHIT

The average AmeriKKKan automobile uses about 1 gallon of gasoline per day
and travels a distance of less than 25 miles, and when commuting to work,
there is a full 8 hour period where the vehicle can recharge allowing
commuters to reliably travel 80 miles to get to work. And that is with
batteries that are not particularly long range. Adding a few more
batteries, and upgrading the batteries used on the EV1 with modern batteries
can double that distance if required - which it isn't.

An 80 mile range is over three times that distance.

You are quite the MORON.

Really. And where are they supposed to plug their vehicles in at? I

It *is* required, and please provide cites that any of these
super-batteries are currently available. Just saying "add more
batteries" doesn't cut it, as you know as well as I do that more weight
means more power used so it doesn't really work as neatly as you think
it does. Sure, you *can* add more batteries, but the more you add, the
less efficient your vehicle gets, so not only is it more sluggish but
you also don't get, say, twice the range out of twice the battery capacity.

Three times what distance? And it's still about 1/6th - that's 16% - of
the range of a perfectly average gasoline car.

You know, someday someone's going to take you seriously and then you'll
find out why you should be polite to your betters (in your case it is
safe to assume that that is everyone you meet.)

At a charging station. In the Canadian province of Alberta, parking lots
provide electric outlets for block heaters so that car engines can be kept
warm in winter.

You will have to tear up a few meters of asphalt in order to lay down the
necessary conduit.

Are you saying that the automobiles aren't practical because the
infrastructure isn't available?

I'm sure horse owners made the same complaint about horseless carriages.
They are not as practical as my horse because there are no refueling
stations.

Ahahahahahahahahah............ MMMMOOOOOORRRRROOOOOOONNNNNN

Yup, as much as spray on cheese and Incandescent bulbs.

If you have a laptop computer, just turn it upside down and look.

Lithium Ion cells are improved over the last decade.

Just saying just add fuel - doesn't cut it.

But then it does doesn't it.

And more volume. Yup. In some instances volume is the limiting factor,
you really can't easily exceed the
volume of a premade vehicle. Unless of course, you pull a trailer. And
that is quite possible as well.

Yup. You don't get twice the range if you double your fuel tank size
either.

You are bourderline illiterate aren't you?

The average car travels about 25 miles per day. Your own reference makes
that very claim, and as it happens
that claim was confirmed just a few moments ago in a CBC radio clip I was
listening to. The claim on the CBC was that the average car consumes about 1
gallon of gas per day, corresponding to a distance of about 25 miles.

An 80 mile range is over three times that distance.

I can't wait. But I warn you. My intent from the outset will be to do
severe, lasting, physcal damage..

It's not sufficient to cover the easy 80% of uses.

Over 90% of the cars on the road have one occupant.

So it's easily sufficient for 90% of uses.

Does not follow; the reason your hypothetical shit car only works for
short distance commutes is range, not number of occupants.

Yup, short distances like 35 miles to the store, and 35 miles back.
