[1:19:51] Join Bo, Nikki, and Alexandra Paul in another great episode! Bo is called in last minute to produce Nikki's show because of her "bloody Internet connection". Alexandra offers wonderful insight on the top stories of the week as Bo and Nikki confuse the listeners as to what show they are listening to.
Stories in today's show:
Don't just listen to the EVcast -- experience and be a part of it! Join us at 1:00pm Eastern, M-F, in our live video broadcast and chat along with us!
LOL! I sure was confused- I kept refreshing the screen looking for Nikki's beatific visage, only to keep seeing Bo's craggy countenance, until Chelsea clued me in via chat as to what happened. Good show though, guy and gals. I look forward to your respective shows for old predictions reviewed and new predictions revealed over the next week or so!
Hope y'all have a very merry Christmas, and may you each find an EV under your trees, a fast-charge station in your stockings and solar panels left on your roof! Let's hope, though, that no one gets any coal in their stockings;-)

Hey Guys and Gals!
I'm really sorry I couldn't be with you in high-audio fidelity, but Thanks to Bo for stepping in at the last minute to produce this show.
It's quite strange to be on the telephone doing a show this way. And thanks too to Alexandra for taking some time out of her very busy schedule to join us.
For the record, my Internet died yesterday at 16:30. I got home just now at 14:00 the next day and it's just come back on line.
Twenty-Two hours without Internet. Wow. What a pain it's been!
"Babies and puppy dogs coming out of the tailpipe"????? Oh Nikki what are you thinking? is that supposed to be a good thing? Sounds abusive.
A couple of points on the Chevy Volt song (see lyrics below). Firstly, they say "idear" rather than "idea", so the authors are probably from Boston.
Secondly, the Chevy Volt is a "Greener Car that Powers itself". Now that is better than I expected. I thought I would have to plug it in. Now that I know it powers itself, I think it is well worth the US$40,000 they are asking for it.
THE FUTURE SHOULD BE A BIG ADVENTURE INSTEAD OUR WORLD IS UNDER PRESSURE EVERYONE’S TALKING ‘BOUT MAKING A CHANGE TO COST OF FUEL AND MILEAGE RANGE TOGETHER WE FACE THIS NEW FRONTIER WITH MYSTERIES TO SOLVE, OH DEAR WHAT WILL GET US OUT OF FIRST GEAR?

OK so the range on the RAV4 EV seems to be better than the Mitsubishi iMiEV. But don't assume it is the NiMH battery technology that is responsible.
The RAV4 EV battery pack is 28 KWH.
The iMiEV battery pack is 16 KWH.
So the RAV4 EV battery pack is 1.75 time larger. I should certainly hope that it has a longer range.
Hi Nikki,
Maybe it's worth getting a pay as you go mobile broadband USB stick as a backup? There are some services offering 2Mbps upload speed - should be enough for live video.
Certainly cheaper than transatlantic phone calls.
