From what I’ve heard from Ian Clifford at Zenn, the five minute charge is capable with a special charging station. Using a 110v wall plug, the eEstor takes 2 hours on a dead battery, and 1 hour using a 220v plug.

The point about the 5 minute charge is that it’s possible to build infrastructure to deliver energy for those traveling or needing to “fill up” while away from home. So a hotel, 7-11, restaurants, could all invest in these charging stations and make them a profit center. Heading from BC to LA? Pull over and eat and charge at the same time.

Why would eEstor be so secretive? Have you considered the predatorial behavior of the auto and oil industries? Corporate espionage is rampant. Big companies like to patent ideas they never invented and box out competition. We all benefit from cheaper, safer technology, but there is a percentage of the population that has no interest in bettering the world. Rather, they prefer to overcharge and squash competition.

I hope eEstor delivers. If they do, expect some serious push back from big companies as the paradigm of transportation and energy storage shifts. If eEstor’s ultra cap works, things will get nasty while the predators attempt to buyout or otherwise control the technology. The issue is rarely, if ever, discussed and is really a serious problem that is linked directly with any betterment of the human condition.

As George Countryman said above, none will discharged that much if plugged in every night so would not take so long.

Also like EEStor, P2solor is a ray of hope with their 3000 watt solar panel (see patent at http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220070204899%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20070204899&RS=DN/20070204899 ), one would fit nicely on the roof of an EV/boat/aircraft and will charge while not in use and help reduce drain when in use.

That is a combination that will bring us a true blessing(a 5′ X 5′ double panel would run a smaller home) and with using the EEStor units in the home system for dark times, they could charge each other when you plug in the cars etc, and can be swapped around for long auto trips, high home energy use times (very hot/cold out) etc.

The implications and uses are endless and open a whole world of near “0″ maintenance and operating costs, compared to current technologies now in use (fossil fuels.)
