EVcast #334: The Feedback Show on NiMH

This weeks show suffered some technical set backs. I managed to salvage the feedback to the last show. The show with Doug Korthof gave me a lot to talk about and to discuss, which I think in turn will bring in some more interesting discussion. 

I know for many of you the idea of complaining that we didn't get electric vehicles in place at the end of the 1990's seems ridiculous. I hope the last two shows will give you a little bit of the perspective of those people who were on the front lines pushing for electric vehicles in that time frame. And I hope you will gain a better understanding of the attitudes of the people who made it all happen.

I thought my podcast sequence was out of order or my iPhone had gremlins. #334 has finally arrived!

Joe,
   You make a great argument about the loss of momentum in the NiMH development process.  If EVs were produced using NiMH on a continuing basis from 1995 to today, surely we would have better NiMH batteries.

   One small nit-pick.  AA NiMH batteries are not 1300 mA or 2800 mA, they are 1300 mAH or 2800 mAH.

Later
