Now Lutz is touting all electric lithium battery 300 mile range cars?  Another dream to divert the attention.  From real technology that is affordable now, the plugin hybrid.

R.I.P.

A long deserved end to this waste of government and industry research funds.  

But as usual the incredible Lutz (who thinks GHG climate change is a crock o' shit) serves his standard diversion.  He is touting lithium, for all electric cars.

Instead of taking this excellent oppurtunity to point out that the plugin hybrid GM "Volt" (the plugin hybrid he claims to support) is ready right now to do the job, without 20k worth of lithium batteries.  And without 10s of thousands of very expensive quick recharge facilities.

He is counting on lithium batteries remaining too expensive for mass adoption of the all electric technology.  He also knows that the financial barrier to building out very high amperage, problematic quick charge "gas" stations for all electric cars is prohibitive. 

Don't underestimate Lutz, he is the king of all gas guzzler enthusiasts.  He will keep up this effort to stall plugin hybrids forever if he can.
