Revision as of 20:49, 31 July 2006

This page requires formatting attention

So you're WRITING A PAPER / DOING RESEARCH on ELECTRIC CARS

I KNOW..... I know...... your first IMPULSE is to send me an e-mail message which reads like this: "I'm writing a paper on Electric Cars, and I like your web site. Can you send me more information??? Please ???? " But ALL the information is already here, and I hope this new section will help you realize this. You can still send me E-Mail on specific questions, or on my ION-1 car, which I very much hope to sell, has been sold.

When I started in the EV Business over 18 years ago, there were NONE of this wealth of information so readily available. It was all word of mouth, and just a few books. So in a few weeks you have the opportunity to come up to speed with what took others decades to accomplish. Good Luck, and may all your miles be clean quiet EV Miles.
