Hi there Michael,

Thanks for all the information.

I went out and checked around on the Internet and there are not many stations in California.
They are mostly in the southern end or just around major cities of the state. Very few addresses to go with each station in the cities too!
I checked Iowa, the corn state and saw about 50 towns. It looks very thin considering the supply that should be there.

Considering the lower energy value and all of the drawbacks of making the stuff it surely looks like another political boondoggle all right!
I’m surprised the the manufacturers fell for such a line of BS. They must have gotten a lot of incentives to jump into that!
It was a fishing expedition with lines loaded up with so many sinkers, it’s no wonder it didn’t go anywhere!

I think the Tesla cars have more charging stations all over the USA, plus there are other companies getting into the business of setting them up.
Even Harley Davidson has jump in with an electric motorcycle.
They don’t usually make changes unless they have contacted the Smithsonian institute or jumped into bed with Germany to design engines for them. It’s my understanding the Porsche was in on the V-Rod motor. Porsche or others over there in Germany are always playing with different designs.
That’s how Volvo got a five cylinder engine on the cheap! It was a cast off from their prototype department.
Does anyone else have a 5 cylinder motor? When I first heard of it I thought of the British, to the likes of Coopers, Bentley and Jaguars. To the credit of the Brits they have contributed a lot to the aviation side of things over the many years.
Rivalry with the Germans has been there the whole way too!
The USA has been into it too, actually, sorting out all the good ideas from the bad ones, IMHO!
We never did all our stuff completely on our own!
Why should we get miffed with China, as we are all sluts, when it come to intellectual properties!

I think the Germans help them come up with the electric option to the tune of about $30,000 a copy!
What gets me is that the thing is loaded with electronic features to help a person to keep from killing themselves. Must be workable as a woman is driving it!
I was just looking at the boots, not her shape, really! (:)

The above is for your entertainment!
The power is instantaneous with a twist of the throttle grip!
Forget winding up a V-8 anymore!
