I'm a big fan of [[Li]]-ion and polymer batteries, both Li-ion and Li-polymer, which are related and have the similar chemistry characteristics, like [[Ni]]MH and NiCD.  [[PbA]] are the heaviest and least energy dense but can easily deliver power and are cheap to produce,  they are also one of the most recycled of products.  Ni has better energy and weight characteristics though Li is as much again better representing the greatest of battery chemical potentials.  Li has only lately been able of delivering great power and long life, since current mass production cost is more economical than you might think it could now deliver the potential promise of the electric vehicle better than can sometimes be imagined.

While modern motor controllers delivered ''consumer level'' control quality and power I also appreciate the simplicity of fully mechanical contactor controller designes similar to a ''non-computerized'' carborated pre 19?? gassoline car.

EV and PHEV info, images, and video clips set to Nine Inch Nails track The Warning and including a number of Who Killed The Electric Car video clips.

This is my first "music video mashup" created with Sony Vegas 7.  After the minor post production work on my video "Resurrected EV1 comes to SEVA Meeting" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewg8yawjn-M, [[GM EV1 WWU Resurrection]]) and listening to NIN on my commutes home I thought it was time to set some images to music in an attempt to portray a message about the past, current, and future state of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.  The odd flag images and USBM warnings used in the video are from the album and AIR-Art is Resistance.  I hear that GM wasn't very thrilled with the last video of a running EV1 I and others posted, so I'm sure they will be thrilled with this one.  Just remember it's meant to motivate you and them towards the goal of getting such vehicles onto dealer showroom floors.  Once that happens I'll start to make happier videos that poor less salt into the EV1 wound.

The [[Honda Insight]] is an outstanding machine, one of few close relatives of the NSX having grown up in the same factory.  All Aluminum with 10kW of torque-ie electric and an ICE so optimized it even had it's own 0w20 oil.  It still sports the best aerodynamics, fuel economy, and is an all arround fun ''drivers'' kind of car.

=== Submarine ===
I build a Li-ion battery pack for a submarine replacing three disposable (AA) cells with a pair of small rectaingular cells.  One pack was wired in parallel with stock voltage and had rather lacking performance, as it did out of the box with duracells.  A second pack was wired in series and with twice the voltage running the propulsion motors which then ran twice as fast, the fun facter was substantially improved.

=== Aircraft ===
Broke the trainer and haven't got a real plane yet, the "Air Surfer" is a fun and durable nurf type glider which delivers good entertainment and fly time with a proper ''smart'' hobby type battery charger.
* http://www.hobbytron.com/HydroFoam.html Also fits into the Watercraft category...
* http://www.stormlauncher.com - A cheap $120 toy knock off by Air Hogs, looks like fun, but some of the reviews don't look so hot.  Perhaps it would do better with a "Battery Upgrade", perhaps more voltage/speed might help though it's already got [[Li]]Po, which is tough to beat.

==high rate anon contrib==
These high rate anonymous contributions sorta make me nervious, I would rather these folks had an account.  I wonder where some of this content is coming from, some appears to be small and by hand while others seem to be copy edits.
* 2007.04.12 [http://www.seattleeva.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=69.228.204.183 69.228.204.183] ([[User talk:69.228.204.183|talk]]) some ev component pages, perhaps from EVDL or EVTech.
* 2007.04.15 [http://www.seattleeva.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=77.209.35.143 77.209.35.143] ([[User talk:77.209.35.143|talk]]) many good, somewhat botish, but perhaps inappropriate content for this particular wiki.
** [[Help:Contents]] why do we need a link to our version? basic users don't car, experts know where to find that.
** [[Tzero]] seems like a fairly minor edit.
** [[Electric bus]], [[Trolleybus]], [[Green tuning]], [[Baset trailer]], [[Electric vehicle conversion]], R:[[Precon]], [[Plug-in hybrid]], [[Vehicle-to-grid]], [[Hybrid electric vehicle]], [[Petroleum electric hybrid vehicle]] These are all fairly blatant copy edits from Wikipedia.
** [[Template:See]], [[Template:Portal]], [[Portal:Bus]], [[Template:Box portal skeleton]], [[Template:Stub]], [[Template:Wikibookspar]], [[Template:Main]], [[Template:For]], [[Template:Dablink]], [[Template:Hprotected]] likewise these are blatant copy edits from Wikipedia, probably dependencies of the above articles.
** While it may be fine to use Wikipedia content, I have chosen to instead link to it so as not to have out of sync content, SEVA may also have their own unique POV, which can be expressed here unlike at Wikipedia.  Also some of the content may not be appropriate for this wiki.  I'm leaning towards reverting all of these edits for those reasons and the anonymity of the editor. although I hate to throw away fourty-five minutes of someones work, if that's what it is.
