lets look at this from another angel lots of people will come and see this event with an EV in the middle . that's good If he sells it, there will be another EV on the road somewhere . That's good EV'ers at event with there cars and hoods open talking to people . That's good Kind of like Santa Clause Lets get behind this guy were is that Xmass spirit! wasn't to long ago If you told me you had a battery charger the could charge any voltage from 12 to 336 and just plug it into any power source ac or dc 60 to 240v and could also take a dead short across the output. I wouldn't have believed it.

I owe you the same, thank you. Yes, we are taking the heat. We expected it, we agree" lots of claims...little delivery". There is no way anyone can know we aren't another claimant that can't deliver. I actually respect skepticism ... when it's coupled with an open mind to see what the possibilities "might" be. Hey, I'm the most "optimistic skeptic" around ! Our intention is to market the automotive technology in one package, not to license it out to multiple groups. Who will get it, when will it be available ... hard to say. I think, realistically, government intervention would curtail it's distribution here in our Great Country however......the Federal and State fuel tax revenue loss would be of gigantic proportions and they'd have to figure a means of making up for that. I don't like that answer...but I do believe it, we have a big machine to run and the fuel is taxes, best Country on Earth...you bet ..... but money and politics ARE money and politics in the end. As for making the device .... although if I told you how I'd have to shoot you .... isn't that an overworked line....it's actually not extremely complicated, at least in our opinion. What's it worth to an "end user"...I honestly don't know. That will depend on just what we prove, the value of unbought fuel for whatever period one considers and the intangible of mitigated pollution ... worth more to some, less to others. I don't mind the "grief", especially when a decent guy like you goes back and forth some... I do feel bad for Carl though, he's put 18 years into reaching this point ... a man who served his Country well as a UDT (forerunner to SEALS) in 'NAM, decorated battle veteran .... and without knowing squat all kinds of people threatening him and calling him a fraud. Carl's wife has MS, she's been a wheelchair for years...she took ill this spring, had a heart attack on the operating table...survived and if you saw the love between them you'd say this is one of the most decent people on earth...not trying to give you a sob story, in fact it's a great story...she absolutely refuses to die before seeing her man complete his mission ! These are some of the many American heros that are never known in my book. Now you can understand how even this crusty old warrior (meaning Carl) is hurt by the ranting of closed minded strangers ... HE drives the car every day, I've driven the car ... I trust he'll get his due WHEN it's all said and done. Whew, you didn't sign up for that did you !!! Have a great day, be skeptical ... but root for us at least a little !!! Most Sincerely, Doug L.
