The elctric car as such is far from dead. The film (which the topic of this thread is based on) actually focuses on a few specific models, mainly the GM EV1 (marketed through the Saturn dealerships at the time), the Toyota RAV EV, tiny Honda and a Ford Pikcup, and who & why the plug was 'pulled' on these, it had little or nothing to do with technology.

Solar car is just an electric vehicle with slightly different battery charging system or/and directly to the engine. Still an electric car as such ;)

Ummm... I helped build the one at FSU, just was wondering where they put the link to the web page I built for it. I soldered a lot of #^@%&! solar cells for that thing, over a thousand. I have developed a light touch. And lead poisoning. So, seriously, I know what a solar-powered car is. Sheesh.

I wonder what they're up to with PV efficiency now?

[EDIT] Its 'TOSHIBA' not 'TOHIBA' ;)
Okay, I should add the word "like" before "the solution" then.

But what I meant was that the IBM Thinkpad problem is (was) the most famous one, since Lenovo went out and stated that Sony made the battery.

I wouldn't know but it seems "TOHIBA" is a well known brandname
