RAV4-EV in Santa Monica. Toyota was taking these back and crushing them, stopped by the DontCrush campaign Why GM lies about NiMH: Chevron owns the patent rights!
Calling for GM to produce the Volt with NiMH batteries is of course impossible, unless GM goes to Chevron-cobasys, to which it sold the patent rights, and begs to be able to use the batteries.
| But this forces GM to either refuse to even SEE the existing hundreds of Toyota RAV4-EV, or else, forces them to admit that they can't get the batteries from Chevron! Now, Toyota is lying too, or at least, one of their honchos lies that "the batteries are not ready" on April 3, 2007, even while in sight of many Toyota RAV4-EV using the same NiMH batteries. A curious fact, that the auto companies refused to allow even ONE plug-in EV, still proclaiming that the GM "fleet" of 100 fuel cell cars, to be released this year, is the way of the future. These promised fuel cell cars have fewer fueling stations even than ethanol or biodiesel cars; and they are only limited to 50,000 miles of life. These "equinox" GM cars cost about $1 million each, and have less range than the Toyota RAV4-EV, cost 20 times as much as the Toyota RAV4-EV, last less than a fourth the life of a Toyota RAV4-EV, and require $1 million hydrogen fuel stations, while the Toyota RAV4-EV can charge off a regular PLUG! What a shame and a lie. When will GM be honest? Long after its crown has passed to Toyota, it seems. |
