vpoppv The $500 Electric Car Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Cushing,Oklahoma Posts: 428 Thanks: 5 Thanked 22 Times in 17 Posts	Panasonic has come out with their lastest 18650 cell: a whopping 4 Ah cell!! That's almost twice what a lot of laptops have! And they just dumped $30 million into Tesla's lap! Hmmmm, think there is any connection? Tesla wouldn't say who their 18650 supplier was..... And they teamed up with Toyota too. So yeah, I agree that battery tech is still growing quite well. As for the video, I had to look up what a "strimmer" was! Too bad he has to give up that iMiEV..... http://www.greencarcongress.com/2009...-20091225.html http://ir.teslamotors.com/releasedet...leaseID=526928 http://ir.teslamotors.com/releasedet...leaseid=518184 (Support Ecomodder.com & get rid of these annoying ads!) __________________ http://www.evalbum.com/2958 http://poormanev.blogspot.com/ Last edited by vpoppv; 12-05-2010 at 04:03 PM..

I have a Husqvarna and I love it. __________________ Sincerely, Neil http://neilblanchard.blogspot.com/
