STOP THE GM-CHYSLER ECONOMIC RAPE OF AMERICA
STOP THE GM-CHRYSLER SERIAL ECONOMIC RAPE OF AMERICA - PART I
--GM ate it own child and spit-out a most efficient battery.
By Jim Miller
General Motors ate it own child, the very successful electric cars, the EVA-1 and -2. GM also first suppressed a revolutionary battery, then sold the rights to Chevron which killed it. Let's not reward GM's capacity to defraud America on the electric car issue. Kill the proposed Bush Bail out of GM and Chrysler. We have better plans for Chrysler.
The sordid and sad tale of GM's best and only electric cars, the EVA's as they came to a tragic death. GM recovered ALL of the EVAs as their leases ran out, then crushed them, then had them chipped into thousands of pieces. GM learned some lessons from the EVA, namely that the plug-in only electric car, equipped with a state-of-the art set of batteries could run 150 miles between charges. The second lesson was that because the cars were cheaper to build and had very little maintenance over a ten year or longer period, the car would obsolete the vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, which needed constant repair and adjustment. These eclectic electric cars would hit the new and used auto dealerships also, since as large portion of their income depended on engine tune-ups, repairs and replacements.
A fairly large number of documentaries and video clips challenge GM's decision to kill the EVA cars and also documents the efforts of Toyota, Honda and others, to suppress their electric, plug-in vehicles. GM will offer the Chevy Volt as the “replacement”. The Volt is hydrogen powered (thus requiring hydrogen fuel – not commercially available at the “pump” and preserves some of the high cost repair profiles of the internal combustion engine.
These videos as summaries, does not do justice to the value of the lessons learned, but are important “points of entry”. Go to YouTube and type in “who killed the electric car” in the search box to get the list of videos.
Watching the clips should energize the viewers to take action to prevent the GM-Chrysler bail out as currently proposed. The best use of US Treasury money would be to buy a controlling interest in Chrysler and turn it over to a really green management team which would rename it as the Chrysler Electric Auto Company (CEAC). CEAC would make only electric plug-in and electric plug-in hybrids. Over time, it would repurchase the older cars and trucks and convert them to electric vehicles. The full story can be read at a mock website of Chrysler: Chrysler Electric Auto Company,
