I'm afraid none of us get what you mean here... Care to embellish???

The only batteries that come to my mind upon reading that are the rechargables: Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium ion (Li+)

I'm not sure "embellish" is the word you want to you use - but elaborate.

You can look here http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/en...ndt/Elecab.htm and here http://ce.cei.gov.cn/enew/new_f2/fk00fl93.htm for some basic information.

Electric cars are a mixed blessing. They do not perform as well or have the range of a gasoline powered vehicle. The energy to power these cars still has to be produced somewhere so the overall savings in pollution is pretty minimal.

Thank you, my mind was rather in math mode at 9am or so this morning...

But who gives a damn about the rather "iffy" at best future of the electric car?? GM's second-gen EV-1 shows little more promise than the first, and besides, is not one of the german companies within 5 years of releasing the first Hydrogen-powered public prototype??? It's supposedly far more promising and almost as economical and eco-friendly as electric....
