Lithium Drive: Electric Cars - Hangover after the Oil Party and The Tipping Point ilc.v, tnr.v, czx.v, rm.v, lmr.v, abn.v, asm.v, btt.v, bva.v, bvg.v, epz.v, fst.v, gbn.v, hao.v, jnn.v, ks.v, ktn.v, kxm.v, mgn, mxr.v, rvm.to, svb, ura.v, nup.ax, srz.ax, usa.ax



  It will be very difficult to break our addiction to Oil - Hangover after the Oil Party will be very strong. Nobody will give it up easily - Energy Transition will be painful, but it is the only way out. We are already late, but we still have the chance. At stake are billions of dollars and millions of lives. Now with the advance in Lithium batteries we have the economically viable technology to survive in the post carbon world. With everything happening so fast with technology in the Electric space we think that we are at The Tipping Point for the Electric Cars now to become the serious mass market game changer in the auto market.
  Why Electric Cars? Why is it called the Internet with another Zero? What is Peak Oil and Why there is NO more cheap oil out there left? What do we need to make it happen? Where is the generation investment opportunity in this Energy Transition? Why is China ahead of the game already?
  We will give you a few quotes and links in one place to follow our logic here. It is not the future - it is happening now and we all can vote with one electric car and charger at a time, spread the word and join the movement. Dump the pump.

Lithium Jolt: You have the Right to hate your future: Fisker says federal loan money used only in U.S.

  "Something very important is happening these days in the Electric Car space. Electric Cars are moving from the Stage One - "Nobody notice and knows about it" to the Stage Two - "It is the Real Threat and we are better to deal with it right now". Everybody has the right to hate, but it looks like some has this right more than others and this right is well greased. Why somebody is so worried? Is it because Plug In Day was organised in more than 28 cities all across US with thousands of people taking part and it is with ONLY two models of electric cars on the market with still very limited supply? Is it because charging stations are mushrooming all across the country and Wall Street Journal complains about it? Is it because Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf will be finally available in all markets in US by the end of the year? Or the matter to be worried now is that the next QEn+1 is coming and the price of Oil to be going up again? Maybe it is the coming twenty models of Plug In carsto be released next year? Or - we will throw the last one and you can continue - maybe it is the technological progress: with Tesla Model S coming next year with 300 miles range and Toyota announcing the lithium battery with 1,000 km miles range per charge by 2015 with Nissan working on 10 minute charger for the electric cars?
  An unprecedented campaign in mass media against Electric Cars is ongoing these days. Reasons are all the same: "Electric Cars are dirty, they are very expensive, they are ugly, they are not selling well and there are no places to charge them". Last week the new claims were added to the hating mix - "dirty money and dealings in the electric space": SolyndraGate is taking over the Fisker. Why this old no news was made the news by FOX all over the media we are not sure...maybe it is related to the election "silly season" somehow. 
  The real reasons are much deeper and crucial for us and our ability to go forward: without the clear plan for the Energy Transition not only Wall Street will be occupied very soon. Next round of Inflation and Oil shock will place all society on the edge of the social break down. We still have the time and can vote one electric car and one charging station at a time, make our opinion known or support the companies involved in the Next Big Thing, but we need to have our Manhattan project for the Electric Cars on the state level and we need it now."
