Title:
Red Car goes to Costco, LAX, and back to spawning ground

Description:
Driving the Red Car. Trying to hold it back, but really, it's so much fun to drive that you don't CARE what it costs. Example of charging at the Costco Signal Hill; every EV person should be a Costco member. Stopping at LAX, which has been faithfully supporting EVs all this time, while GM and Chevron were killing them. Costco believes in efficient and clean transportation; LAX believes that long-distance travel should be done by driving your EV to the station, and taking a plane (or train, of course). So LAX is in accordance with advanced transportation theory. Then back to the spawning ground, where the batteries came from that fixed the Red Car. Of course, it could not have been restored without the excellent work of ACPropulsion, who originally created it.

Poseidon aims to desalt the Ocean - sounds good until you look at the facts and the record. Their only plant, in Tampa Bay, turned out to be a sort of "HALLMARK OF DISASTER" in terms of schedules, costs and professionalism. Now, they are claiming that their current project will only cost $1100/acre foot -- more than twice the highest current cost of water, and about 4 times what Huntington Beach currently pays. Poseidon seeks handouts, so that OTHERS who don't need their water will have to ...

Stuck on the LA MTA: L.A. tries to discourage public transit and kick riders off the buses
LA treats riders as a nuisance, not customers; here I am, just a loser on an uncomfortable, slow bus, waiting for hours to make connections. MTA doesn't care, because they DON'T WANT YOU TO RIDE THE BUS! They want you in a gas-guzzling car, and, to torture you further, they contrast the uncomfortable ride, long waits and sleazy service with the acres of gas-guzzling cars they temptingly drive you by.
RAV4-EV Battery story - part one (1)
RAV4-EV uses EV-95 batteries, as you've heard. What are these marvelous batteries? Are they invisible, immaterial? Can they be for real? Here's the story of how they came to be, and why they work in the Toyota RAV4-EV. And why GM never was much interested in using them for an EV -- because, it seems, they work. Something GM is afraid of.

CARB is doing nothing, emissions ruin kids lungs
By doing nothing about auto and refinery emissions that permanently damage kids lungs, we're agreeing to stunting the next generation, to lessened health and lessened quality of life. It's not as if there's no alternative. No one is forcing GM to make plug-in cars, and GM is suing CARB for the right to pollute the air. If GM were going to make oil-free cars, they would not fear higher CAFE mpg standards.
capacitor replacement in RAV4 EV
The magnecharger created more problems than it solved; in fact, a simple PLUG and OUTLET is the best way to charge an EV. On the RAV4-EV, you have to bypass the magnecharger to get conductive charging. In this magnecharger input port, there was a factory-flaw in one capacitor; it fails pretty regularly. We went years without using the magnechager at all, just using a plug. Today, we replaced the capacitor and restored the magnecharger circuitry to working condition on this RAV4-EV....
