Bo,
   Good job holding down the fort today on your own.  Also, nice interview with Mr. Matavalli.

   Before the next Tesla crash, please get a clip of "Another one bites the dust" to play in the background.

Later
John C. Briggs

Low Speed Vehicles

This ebay sale amuses me.

It is a Miles electric car.  Two interesting points

1) It should be a LSV but it says current maximum speed is 55MPH.  I guess this guy doesn't care about the laws.

2)  It is a 2005 and only has 176 miles on it.  I guess it has been sitting around for a while.

Good Interview with Jim Motavalli- his web site, for the curious, is:  http://www.jimmotavalli.com/

 

 

Ouch!  See the Wrecked Tesla, and weep! At:  http://www.wreckedexotics.com/articles/012.shtml

 

Was the sale of EV’s marketing or desire?  Until this last year, a truck was the best-selling vehicle in the US for almost 3 decades!  I would postulate that the SUV was Dad’s answer to Mom’s Minivan, especially once the SUV, like the Minivan, got away from the ‘truck-ride’ but kept the truck-look.  In this case I would say desire pushed the marketing to follow!  Shoot- I still like the height and room in a minivan or SUV- but would just like my next one to be Electric-powered as well;-)

I am adding this comment to this particular evcast because it's about eestor.  Reading the zenery web site I think that Zenn is stepping into uncharted waters legally.  They refer to the eestor technology as a given and as we all know that information is not out there.  If they were a US corporation I would think they would be taking a risk.  Would be interested in getting input from any legal experts on statements by publicly traded corporations.
