I guess if one has to ask how much for this car of the future then it's out of our league. I look forward to the day when they are affordable for the masses. I now have two little NiMH batteries that I interchange on some Senheiser wireless headphones and like them very much. They are so light and quick to interchange it is a pleasure to use them. At $17 a pop hopefully they'll last a couple of years. I wonder what kind of royalties ECD will see this coming year with all the NiMH batteries beginning to show up in real products. Sometimes I feel like I'm invested in a non-profit organization for the advancement of environmental product research. Well it's a good cause anyway. Happy Holidays everyone. Be well and patient.

Don: Thank you for telling us about your experience with the new 1999 GM EV-1 and its NiMH batteries The stated increase in mileage is impressive but the per cent calculations need some fine tuning. If the mileage per charge went from 40 miles to 60 miles, there would be a 50% increase in miles per charge or an increase of ½ the mileage. This can also be expressed as increasing the mileage by a half. If the mileage per charge went from 40 miles to 80 miles, there would be a 100% increase in miles per charge or twice (2X) the mileage. This can also be expressed as doubling the mileage. If the mileage per charge went from 40 miles to 120 miles, there would be a 200% increase in miles per charge or three times (3X) the mileage. This can also be expressed as tripling the mileage. If the mileage per charge went from 70 miles to 210 miles, there would be a 200% increase in miles per charge or three times (3X) the mileage. This can also be expressed as tripling the mileage. If the NiMH batteries you received represent the start of one battery pack produced each day at Dayton, this combined with the increased mileage is good. If the NiMH batteries represent the start of five battery packs produced each day at Dayton, this combined with the increased mileage is impressive. If the NiMH batteries represent the start of 10 battery packs produced each day at Dayton, this combined with the increased mileage is approaching "nothing less than sensational". I guess that some of us folks back East (Illinois) are more reserved in the use of language. To me 12 battery packs produced each day at Dayton would be "nothing less than sensational". 12 battery packs per day is 20% more output than 10 battery packs per day. I forgot, is 10 battery packs a day the target for the Dayton Plant? I hope that the Dayton plant will be at 10 battery packs soon.
