Hello Matt, Tue.Oct.11,2011
Thanks for info. I am definitely interested in the Nissan Leaf. I can't see the necessity for 10 minute recharging since the vehicle would be used solely for short distance commutes around town. A Leaf with 120 mile range would probably go most of the week without any recharge. Either that or a short recharge every night would keep it topped off. I am still wondering what they do for heating the cab during -20 F temps? A propane heater in the cab should defrost the windshield quicker than most gas cars can do it.................................................................73s,Carl

Carl,
One of the main reaasons we aren't seeing electric cars moving to market faster is due to their limited range due to the time it takes to recharge them. You can top off your car quickly enough, but recharging an electric car currently takes a looong time. My idea was to swap batteries at a charging station, but a ten minute recharge is acceptable.

Yes, definitely, swapping batteries into a standardized battery box built into every car would be the best way to keep gas station employes employed and truckers driving to supply them. Not to mention that it would be the fastest way to get going again. Any type of battery technology could be packed into the standardized box thus giving drivers a wide selection of performances and prices.................................................................73s,Carl
