I have a few questions or suggestions for your electric car program that includes millions of “charging stations” spread all across the country which choses to use the concept. Consider the following: install a small 25 horse gas engine connected to a large capacity electric generator that is connected to the bank of batteries powereing the car. The 25 horse engine is programed to start automaticaly when the battery power falls to a recharge point and then turn itself off when the batteries are charged. Therefore, the battery bank will be automatically recharged by the self contained self starting self regulating gasoline engine. The 25 horse engine will, by it’s size, use very little fuel. In fact anytime that the electrice car is in operation it is recharging itself internally as it travels. This means that it will not run out of power, have an unlimited range of travel, and will not need the very expensive “charging stations”. I suggest you test this concept before you decide on the hugely expensive “charging stations”. Also, why not take avantage of each wheels circular movement. Why not have each wheel attached to it’s own generator which as it moves, it sends electric current to the batteries to recharge them. Now, using current to move the wheels generates new current to recharge the batteries.
