I think you been sniffing glue.... inefficient alternator? Yeah lets stick with the prehistoric combustion engine instead of electricity. Please Realitycheck1970, give up with the snake oil sales.

Driving around 500 to 1000 pounds of batteries to save 2 gallons of gas is stupid. We need a fundamental technology leap. Until then, use the PPH60 from gogreenwithct. This system uses batteries to power the electrical loads in your car so the extremely inefficient alternator doesn't have to.

You don't know what you are talking about about. The EV1 as an all electric was not a viable vehicle. It was only a 2 seater. It could not operate in very hot or very cold enviroments. I know this because one of my friends had a EV1 in SoCal back in the 1990's. It had very limited range and if you ever needed to run the heater or air you would be in trouble. Also the most important reason GM would not produce the car was that the US Government would not let it. It wouldn't pass the crash tests.

My question on Vehicle to Grid is if your car is providing power back to the grid then what do you do when you need to drive it and the battery is dead.

When I found out that producing one prius makes more waste and emits more CO2 than building one Hummer H2 I was disappointed.
Making Car Factories Greener first is important. Subaru already has a green factory located in (or near?)a national wildlife reserve lol. Just give me an E85 plug in hybrid and i'll be happy. Gas free is the main thing.

Good things don't come "easy".

I would like to have Google make the conversion available, so I can retrofit it in a hybrid car.

Power plants are much easier to maintain and regulate than individual vehicles. And, as mentioned below, there are plenty of places with clean fuel alternatives. I don't advocate burning coal or oil for electricity - but how about garbage? Or maybe biodigesters from feedlots and dairies?

I totally agree..If you had a strong arm on a product or market, you'd be upset too if someone came along with a proven device that not only works better than your item yet it's better for our planet. Water4fuel,info |
