It looks like a Maserati MC12.

Interesting, in theory you can a battery recharge in under 1hr with the proper control and temperature with a very pure signal. Now what else is interesting is how everyone thinks you are bound by charging the battery itself, it could be as easy as filling up your car with gas if people thought about it. The charging could be done in a massive unit at a station, and you drain the electrolyte, fill up with new 1. Take out your electrodes like a cartridge, and put new ones. Yours would go into the machine that sucked out your electrolyte and it would do the recharging there. There could be let's say 100 doses of electrolyte and 200 electrodes and people would just rotate. 5min max refil. "Your" battery would be recharging while you are off driving. Kind of same principle as propane for your bbq, you go to the station with your empty and walk out with a full one, you dont wait for them to fill yours up. They do that while you are bbqing and give it full to the next guy. I think something like this would be the future of the electric car. To sit there with your car plugged in waiting for it to recharge is retarded.

I think you're absolutely right, battery technology is advancing right now at such an incredible pace that it will take over Hydrogen. But the biggest benefactors of hydrogen are the companies that are relied upon to produce and deliver it to the consumer, which right now are the oil companies. When the need for a refueling station, gasoline or hydrogen, is unjustified, an entire industry will fall. It's my opinion that any government would rather back hydrogen technology even though it may not be the best. Business and economy will always take priority. So you can expect there to be a huge battle brewing between the two technologies. I believe the technology is already there, but it needs a lot of guts from governments to bring it to the mainstream. Ultimately it comes down to being able to tax whatever fuel we use. Your idea might the only way battery technology will come out on top.

Again, we should be funding projects like this and not bailout companies that really do not have any future imagination or wide product lines to keep them afloat.

why not do it the way that guy negre it propossing and use air as a means of propulsion, you cut out all the losses andhandling issues with batteries, way to go! http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4217016.html now that technology in a sexy disguise and poeple will love it! now if we get around the lobbying of the battery/chemical industry then there might be a chance for it

why dont they use the turbine to kill the drag Turbulence

This was a pretty good read, although similar to my Implosive-EV idea that I published Apr 19, 2006 it sounds as though most know nothing about implosive energy technology. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/EV-1_Concept_Implosion/ It's really pretty simple; all you have to do is design a system that works like a turbo charger, e.g. in this case the air becomes the (explosive) exhaust cycle and rotates the wind-turbine and in the same manner as a turbo charger it also rotates a second (implosive) impeller on the same common shaft. This twin explosive/implosive cycle alleviates drag caused by the turbine due to the implosive inrush of air additively adding torque to the common drive shaft of the wind-turbine, additionally an implosive (vortex) thrust develops and further alleviates drag on the entire structure by pulling the car into the void generated by the vortex action of the implosive impeller cycle.
