- History_of_the_automobile Two(2) references to Electric?
- Automobile#History One half of a sentance?
- Automobile#Alternative_fuels_and_batteries Hook, line, and sinker.
- Cost? The EV1 was an extremely low volume vehicle, which would have been cost competitive in normal production volumes. It's MSRP was $34K to $44K at ?800? units, what would it have cost at a minimal 10,000 units?
- Speed? Aparently haven't heard of NEDRA or the Buckeye Bullet (314 mph). Even the EV1 set a production EV speed record at 183mph.
- Range? Production EV's all achieved 80miles or more, some 4 times the average commute, new battery technology (Li-ion) has demonstrated up to 300 miles of range.
- Why go into Lead-Acid's characteristics, true buy why? Few modern EV's use PbA, NiMH is the norm and Li-ion is the near-term future. Conversion EV's use PbA because they are readily available and produced in high volume, yet many conversions have also used Li-ion's.
- Transport#Comparison_of_different_modes_of_passenger_transport Could use an Electric Auto/Motorcycle section.
- Grow your own fuel at home! 1/2 to 1/4 the energy requirements of traditional ICE.
