Comments on: Three Key Elements to ECOtality's Electric Vehicle Project http://gas2.org/2009/08/26/three-key-elements-to-ecotalitys-electric-vehicle-project/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Why not store it you ask? Because there are not yet any good ways to store [...] [...] Iowa and Minnesota, electric companies are occasionally producing more energy—especially during off-peak hours—than they can use.

We've had some on the streets of London for around two years now, albeit in small numbers. EVs are crucial for reducing the environmental impact of our transport system, but as your article mentions, could be more crucial than ever if they are to provide a way for the electricity grid to manage the instability of renewable sources like wind & solar. Anyway, you may be interested in this article that I did, rounding up the currently (or shortly) available Electric Vehicles on the market: http://www.plentyways.com/blog/2009/07/top-ten-electric-vehicles-on-the-market/ Brendan Personally, I can’t wait for EVs to become widespread on the streets of America.

EV manufacturers should provide an override for the switch that prevents a rolling charge, (to preclude yanking the cord out), and an interior generator exhaust hose connection to a tail pipe although a window mounted exhaust will do in a pinch. EVs and PHEVs should have a range calculator that allows activation of the generator at a specific time to provide the needed trip range with minimum onboard fuel use.
