EEStor Money

Startup says new technology will make gasoline obsolete

Posted at 11:30 AM on 06 Sep 2007

A battery-replacing invention that allows you to plug in your car for five minutes, then drive 500 miles without using gasoline? It sounds too good to be true, but Austin-based startup EEStor says they've done it. While the doubters are many, we'd have to agree with Georgia Tech researcher Joseph Perry: "I am skeptical, but I'd be very happy to be proved wrong."

Won't have long to wait

EEStor is hardly a "startup company" they have been working on their EESU's for 11 years now.
This article is rather lacking in recent details. For the first time, the CEO of EEStor claims they will begin conmmercial production within 10 months. First up: ZENN Motors, with a $2 mill stake and an exclusive agreement for use of the batteries in their electric cars under specific
conditions. This is a crappy posting - it says nothing of the new developments. What it does say has been bandied around the EV world for 3 years (at least). Why don't you Grist people get with it?

The comments of Grist users reflect the opinions of those individuals only, and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of Grist, its staff, its board members, their psychotherapists, or their aestheticians. Got it?
