I am not sure of how many of us Ecomodders who use cardboard and political signs to aerodynamically modify our vehicle, or go to junkyards in our spare time to find the elusive parts for our decade old or older rolling parts bins, have the capital for such a deposit. This site is a gathering of people of many walks of life, though most of us utilize the most inexpensive options at our desposal.
I may speak for myself, but I genuinely feel that you and your associates have developed a flinch from being burned by untrustworthy, so-called testers, who don't have the class of the caliber of people welcome on this forum. Swindled by people who could care less that the results they provide would potentially help thousands of other people, who would otherwise not know of your product, or it's cost to benefit ratio and potential alternative to current technology. I am not condeming your efforts, I just fear you may not get the turnout you are looking for.
Perhaps an act of good faith to our co-founder Darin, aka MetroMPG, would help ease our skepticism of laying a grand on the table. Many of us are willing to test your batteries. A deposit is a reasonable request, but a thousand dollars is worthy of putting a bid on a house. Good luck with your testing Tony, and I wait anxiously for the results of such testing.
