Avoid the FOSH website because it is fully of bloody graphic images that will be hard to get out of your mind.

They have nothing to do with EVs. It is a HOAX fronted to an anti-Obama message.

Wow that was a freeking sad attempt at propaganda- don't those asses know that most Americans have already been desensitized by all the pictures of Iraqi children who been killed in all types of gruesome ways- as for Obama the disappointment comes not from him being to outside the American norm but from the fact that he seem pretty much like the rest- but I'll vote for him just because I've heard McCain say things that have sounded retarted and occasionally insane.

Thanks for the warning.

I was with them after their first announcement, figuring there cold be SOME chance these guys really had an electric car (not that it had to work... just that it was an attempt at one). I just had a hard time getting over the "FOSH" name and, what appeared to be, their high-school-like writing style. Then, thanks to Paul Cummings who was our "inside man" who told us that there was no such PO box, plus that fact that these guys did not respond to my request for real names, address, phone, etc. made me write them off.

This was an unfortunate incident for the industry. It will make future claims harder to believe and increase the skepticism out there as we push the limits of current technology.

I feel that I already gave these boneheads too much airtime on previous shows so I will not mention them again. For them, any PR is good PR. The mere mention of their website will have people going there out of curiosity.

Our dream EV does exisit somewhere in space and time. It will just take some patience on our part. The technology is advancing like never before in EV history and the demand is finally there. Keep up the optimism!

Bo,
   By even posting this thread, I thought I was giving them too much air time. But personally I hate seeing these types of images and I hope to save some other sensitve soul the same experience.
Thanks

I sent a request to the main EV sources that ran this story with the plea for them to remove all mention of FOSH from their sites. I will actually be editing former podcasts to remove all mention of them as well.
