Great site you got here and all the posts are really worth the read. I was wondering if I could use some write-ups on my website, I will link back to your website or page where I took the article to properly cite the source. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away. Best regards – Karen

evidences shows that his version of the story isn't consistent but likely will not be enough to convict him of fraud.

for example, 250 times the brakes were pressed in 20 mins? that's about once every 4 to 5 seconds. who does that kind of braking interval if the car is out of control? it is almost as if he's trying to wear out the brakes. while inconsistent, this is not a smoking gun to charge him with fraud.

If this guy is lying (and he looks like a scumbag), then he should be held accountable for it. His story is just too iffy and his 2008 bankruptcy (as someone mentioned) doesn’t make him look good. I say hang him by the balls until proven innocent (just for kicks and giggles).

Sikes case isn’t reproducible. He didn’t follow the 911 directions. I smell a rat on this one. Fraud-alert

dont forget ev1 uses lead-acid batteries, something every ICE vehicle has. according to wiki: “In the United States 97% of all battery lead was recycled between 1997 and 2001″. some topic pool eh…

oxjr says: "Those early electrics were rolling toxic cease pools. A wave of hybrids with much less toxic batteries in just a few years after that film was made ... disproving the conspiracy."

excuse me? how is EV-1 being crushed disprove the conspiracy? what you failed to mention is today's ICE cars are also very toxic, some may argue much more so than ev1. the major difference is oil is the soul of ICE and plays major part of hybrids (possibly why it did not get killed off).

to think that big oil has no conspiracy against demise of electric vehicles is a bit naive when you see how many trillions of dollars are at stake here. how serious is it? it's worth going to war. conspiracy sounds fairly trivial compare to war doesn't it

I saw that documentary too…. what they failed to mention was the ev-1 was an ecological nightmare and legislation at the time was putting restrictions on the use of non recycable materials in vehicles (like Germany’s recycable auto program) Those early electrics were rolling toxic cease pools. A wave of hybrids with much less toxic batteries in just a few years after that film was made … disproving the conspiracy. Big oil does enough evil without adding a silly conspiracy theory to the mix.

Yes, that's correct. Although I don't trust James, let's wait and see.
