Electric Car Manufacturers Inspire New Paradigms -- Seeking Alpha

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea). My personal criteria for an EV is 80/80 MPH/miles range, but thats because drivers either go 80 or stopped around here. safety requirements.
