What the hell am I supposed to do:
- "My Echo gets 3mpg less than a Prius" (sic)
Sure it does, if you drive half the speed.
- "couldn't possibly get insurance on a vehicle who's brakes can
- "not be replaced due to the part not being available" (sic)
There's nothing wrong with the brakes, I quote "electronic brakes" ie
regen brakes via the Motor, it surely still has a duel-zone Hydralic
system and standard brake rotors and pads! ( required by law )
- "but all this does is shift the pollution elsewhere."
Tell me, Have you ever tried to drill & process oil from your back yard?
Well, It's entirely feasable to collect your own "solar" (wind, hydro,
pv) energy via the roof of your house and drive this car with ZERO oil.
- "See here [xtronics.com] for energy densities of various materials."
Yes, but an ICE only yields 20% of that energy, BEV's yield 80-90%!
BTW. Did you include to discovery, drilling, processing, and calaratal
damage (I mean cost) of the gassoline that you pump into your car?
- "According to GM, there where only 50 people committed to buying"
SIC SIC SIC That's total nonesense, even today there were at least
78 individules willing to buy them as salvaged vehicles, and GM finally
admitted that there were several thousand people on waiting lists.
They even refused to sell ONE EV1 to Jay Leno for a cool Million.
BTW. There's a 1 in 25 chance that you happen to live in a state where
these cars were "Available". I don't call that trying to sell them.
- "After about 10 minutes, a fully changed car was almost dead."
SIC SIC SIC SIC TOTAL NASTY SMELLY RUNNY GREEN BULL SHIT !
You would have to be burning off the energy at a rate near 120kW.
CONTINUOUSLY! That means you ran it up to a brick wall and then
spun the tires, HELL even that wouldn't work, you'de have to.....
I rented and drove a GEN 1 Lead-Acis version 110 miles in LA!
I also had it SOLD! in less than 3 hours! GM LIES, and the LIES MORE.
- "I wonder if they just made them inoperable (to avoid liability
- "concerns) and sold them as collectable on ebay "
Funny you should ask, all the ones that went to musiems and universities
were "severly disabled", ie:no run, prior to the donation. Empty Shells.
ONE thing is certin, GM sure as hell wants to make sure that noone who
hasn't already driven one of these cars will EVER get the chance.
