wow, 100 mile range. thats fantastic. you only have to spend xx hours re-charging the batteries after 100 miles. thats very practical. and of course, you can find a re-chaging point on every street corner.

jordan (the country in the middle east) gives it car drivers a tax concession if they buy a hybrid vehicle. most of the cars there are american (don't ask me why) and you see cadillac escalades (similar to the side of a barn) hybrids being driven around. i'm not sure if you could count a cadillac escalade hybrid as a "green" car, but jordan (the country) seems to think so.

Johnno - Thailand imports 54% of energy, oil, gas, and coal. Solar powered parking lots and EV & Plug-in-Hybrids would clean the air and reduce Thailand's vulnerability to high fossile fuel prices.

Great video!!

bruce, there aren't enough charging points in countries such as USA, australia, UK, europe for EV's. how the hell is thailand going to be able to afford to buy EV's firstly, produce extra electricity that will be required by re-charging points, change over their power generation to use more solar or other alternative power sources, produce extra batteries etc that will be required for EV's. would you care to enlighten your readers just what is the life of a battery pack before the batteries require changing. my guess is maybe 2 years if you look after them properly ie, discharge the batteries fully before re-charging. i'm not 100% sure of what i'm saying here about the life of batteries. maybe the new generation of re-chargable batteries last a bit longer than the old re-chargeable batteries. i know you have to start somewhere, but USA has been dragging its heels for decades about its energy uses and to expect the rest of the world to change now just cos the USA has decided its time to change is a bit unrealistic. when was it that USA ratified the KYOTO PROTOCOL? everyone knows we have to change our energy habits and i think everyone wants to change. having said that, i enjoy reading your journals here and i learn a bit more everytime i read them. thanks
