At the Marin County FairMartin Eberhard,the creator of theTesla Sports cartells how he researched all the alternatives, and came to the conclusion that using rechargeable Lithium Ion battery packs to run and electric car was the most efficient use of the world recourse that he could find. Hissimple sharing[link not working 7/25/08]of his findings without any particular agenda makes a compelling case. e.g. - One gallon of Biodiesel poured into the tank of a VW Beatle TDI gets it a max. of 38 miles. The same gallon put through a diesel generator set, converted to Electricy and used to charge a comparable electric car would get it over80 miles

I think I'm going to explore that option - the Santa Rosa Junior College is holding its first course on Electric vehicles conversion this fall (See the Fall, 2008Diesel section: Course # DET 193). I think I'll sign up and investigate the feasibility of converting my 1988 Nissan Sentra 4WD wagon. - Bryn, July 2008.See alsohttp://www.makemineelectric.com
