the presenter said "they" worked on the EV1 for GM
Sounds like they have picked up and employed some of the believers
I think one of their top dogs worked the EV1 battery pack, or some such thing

Ah, so its a concept
yep, but this may be the time for concepts - money is scarce and oil is cheap
perhaps they will be ready when things rebound and gas is back to +$4 a gallon
if a company, Fritolay, UPS or who ever could make this work and invest in it
the next time oil spikes - they would be able to drive a stake in their competitors hearts
but it has to compete in cheap oil too - or will kill the early adopter instead

I think this could work
