Probably no one reads this anymore, only 11 followers, don't know how many happen on it by accident, only a very few even bother to comment. I know I haven't been really regular with my comments I guess I just don't want to waste anyones time with meaningless rambles.
I started this because I was extremely excited to be taking part in what I think is the Future of personal transportation.
Electricity!
Clean, efficient, responsible, easily renewable, readily available Electric Power.
I love automobiles! I am an Industrial Designer, I design and build Motion Picture Sets and Props.
Relatively well known for Special Effects miniature work on many major science fiction future thought projects, I've designed and built many things wind, pedal, gravity and engine powered (gasoline, steam, battery electric) as well as participated in the design of future Space travel.
The MINI E has proven to me we are ready for Battery Electric Automobiles.
The Active E, Nissan Leaf, Tesla roadster and Model S are the most exciting things to happen to transportation design in a 100 years.
They are actually reaching the marketplace. 100 years ago Battery Electrics were in competition with gasoline for the domination of transportation as a replacement for the difficult to maintain, unpredictable, underpowered, short range, polluting Horse.
Battery technology didn't progress as rapidly as the easier to produce and procure petrochemicals so oil won out and became the fuel of choice. As the Infrastructure filled in and gasoline stations replaced Livery Stables, the world rapidly and radically changed.
We now possess the Battery technology we didn't have 100 years ago, our Finite Fossil fuels are depleted, It's time for another radical change in the way we think about doing things.
If you are in the market for a new commuter vehicle, Please,
Go test drive a Volt, Leaf, or at least a Hybrid and by the end of this year there will be even more choices Ford Focus, etc, etc.

Please consider a battery Electric or Hybrid vehicle and include it in your future plans, we can't afford not to!

While I could drive to/from work electrically, I could not have done any of my USA tours, for that I need at least 350 miles daily range with overnight recharge.
ReplyDeleteSo far, Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt sales figures are tragically low, is USA really ready yet?
I've toured every state in the Union, on gasoline, yes thats true but how often do you do that? I have an F250 Diesel Ford truck that serves that purpose. How often do you just drive to work, park for 4 hours drive to lunch then back to work 4 more hours then drive home and park, go to bed, get up, go to work, etc. Most people work 4 or 5 days a week at a job where they are parked for 8 hours, then sleep 8 hours. These hours are when the Battery Electric car is charged. I find my Electric car is Always Full, hardly ever empty. Somehow people have to experience this to believe it.
ReplyDeleteYes there are people out there, desperately wanting electric cars to take over. I read through some of your posts and found it really interesting. I'm trying to build an electric mini myself. Check out my blog at eemini.blogspot.com and feel free to comment or give advise.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are still reading even if we did not sign up as a "follower".
ReplyDeleteI am still posting over at:
minie458.blogspot.com
although my postings are mostly about our new Think City EV.
Nice site! I enjoy a couple of from the articles which have been written, and particularly the comments posted! I will definately be visiting again!
