Sorry Bob, let me clarify my point with an outside example: 100 years ago Nikola Tesla developed a method of trasmitting AC power wirelessly. His prototype stages were successful, but he was unable to complete his work and brings his ideas to society because of his investors did not approve of his ideas on passing around free energy. The project fizzled because it was not commercially feasible at that time. Now, companies are starting to pick up on that technology because of the emergence of small consumer electronics that could be recharged wirelessly (computer mice, cellphones), and even MIT is proud to light up lightbulbs wirelessly, using a 100year old method. The same goes with the cars- the development of the EV1 was critical for the electric car because it was a "published" list of trial and error- it may have sucked, but everyone is smarter because of it. The product was not marketable to the world at that time, nor was it a very good product. Another example is the 1960's Amphicar- if they really wanted to, they would have been able to improve on that concept and make a well- designed, quality product. One proven fact about progress is that it takes time, and most of the time is spent in trial and error. >Regenerative braking with DC is much more complicated. I don't doubt that- based on what I know about AC &DC, I can see why most electric systems are AC. Personally, I'd love to have an electric vehicle. I don't drive over 200 mile a day, and would enjoy not having coolant, oil, exhaust, or fuel systems in the car. I just hope for the day when EV's perform well and aren't just damn ugly to look at.
