Rande, EFCX both sides, tell me what you think of this From Harats interview on CNBC. I am short as well.
Some points from interview:
- Harats said the zinc batteries allow drivers of the electric vehicles developed in conjunction with DaimlerChrysler to drive 250 to 300 miles before having to recharge, as opposed to 60 miles with current rechargable technology.
- "This technology is much more mature and ready to commercialize," (than Hydrogen) he said, adding that the company expects to see growth in both consumer electronics, such as cell phones, and automobiles.
- "We are planning to become a major consumer company," Harats said.
- He added that the company expects to see the impact of growth on revenue streams and profitability in the fourth quarter and especially in the first quarter of 2001.
This sounds to me like profitability might be sooner than expected.
Add to this the fact that hydrogen buses are significantly more expensive than zinc-air buses and that the technology of safely transporting hydrogen on the vehicle, shows the zinc-air supperiority.

Furthermore, while we have developed batteries for several models of Nokia,
Motorola and Ericsson cell phones, we do not have batteries for many models.
Other than our cell phone battery and a signal light powered by water-activated batteries for use in life jackets and other rescue apparatus, we currently have no commercial products available for sale. |
