<< said that one of the most persistent problems with electic cars is the myths that surround them - like running out of power unexpectedly.
"People will have to understand eventually that if you don't run out of gas now, you won't run out of electricity - as long as you can read a gauge." >>

that goes with my long winded post about reading the milage gauge in the Nissan.

what is so interesting about this read ... is that I doubt << French billionaire Vincent Bolloré, flanked by French Industry Minister Christian Estrosi, came to Boucherville and announced a $120-million infusion - all private money - to triple the production capacity of the former Avestor plant, renamed Bathium. >> would invest all that money if he had any doubt about Hydro Quebecs law suit outcome. My guess is even though A123 patent was upheld in Europe? ... it will be found to conflict with Hydro Quebecs patent ... and therefor Hydro Quebec will win the Phosphate Li- Ion rights in the U.S. (still checking if the LMP battery even uses Phosphate?)

So Bollore certainly must have confidence in Hydro Quebec's 500 patents and must discount EEStor completely.
