Seasoned scientists at EEStore say they've created a battery made of glass- and aluminum-coated ceramics that could allow electric motors to completely replace the internal combustion engine. The inventors, erstwhile Xerox PARC and IBMmers, boast about the car's efficiency, saying it'll be so cheap it'll be as if gas costs 45 cents per gallon, will drive 500 miles on nine bucks' worth of electricity, and needs just five minutes to completely recharge. Plus, the company's CEO says, "a four-passenger sedan will drive like a Ferrari." Tall claims, EEStore.

I have been in this business for decades, and on reviewing EEStor's patents, found they had made several serious calculation and assumption errors.
IMHO, folks, this is not real. We will see EEStor continuously push out their demonstrations, which were originally going to be this past May, until they have eaked out all the investment capital they can."
Meanwhile, Feel Good Cars, those Canadian electric carmeisters whose ZENN electric car is pictured above, vow to make this technology roadworthy by 2008. Oil companies, get out your checkbooks, but you'd better have some phat cash 'cause these EEStore guys are well-financed. – Charlie White, LINK

The only part that gives this much hope is that the people involved with it are loaded.
