besides renting the batteries what else will he have over Tesla Motors who already has finished electric/battery cars and lots of orders? And has he thought about the design of his car, in a market where competition is sure to get fierce in the next few years, I hope he is not relying on current mass marketing car giants to design a car so desirable that will negatively effect the sales of their own models. I hope he considers small, creative design firms like ours to get a prototype that will get consumers excited.

It would be helpful if just one reporter would ask the obvious question, “given the sorry state of the nations’ electrical grid, with states like California having regular brownouts in the summer months, where is all the extra electicity going to come from to power these stations?”.

How about these people and the car companies get together to help mankind? Water powered cars and magnet powered cars have been around for at least 50 years, yet we still are using oil and sucking the breast of Big Oil.
