Why do the automobile manufacturers resist making Electric Cars? Altairnano has batteries that are ready?

The major automobile manufacturers say battery technology isn't ready for Electric Vehicles, but Altairnano Technologies has batteries that do the job. Check out www.PhoenixMotorCars.com.

Well Phoenix has an exclusive deal with Altairnano, so the big auto companies couldn't use their batteries anyway. Plus they only have about a 100 mile range, which while good, is not as long as people are accustomed to.

I think it won't be too long before the major auto companies are making EVs. The Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius plug-in will be the final step in that direction (gas cars to hybrids to plug-in hybrids to EVs). Honda has even said that they won't work on plug-in hybrids, because if you have the capability of making a plug-in hybrid you might as well just make a fully Electric Vehicle.

With some really nice EVs being made by Phoenix, ZAP, and Miles Automotive and several big auto companies working on plug-in hybrids, I think it will only be another decade or two before the big guys start rolling out electric cars.

Information Technology in the Automobile Industry $106.74 IT has remained an inevitable business tool for over many years due to globalization and geographically dispersed markets. What remains unexplored is the potential impact of such technologies in less developed markets. In spite of the argued benefits of IT in supply chain collaboration, there has been limited empirical academic study on the rationale for IT communication tools between supply chain partners, the infrastructure needed for implementation and the impact on inventory management in developing countries. To address this gap, the book takes an extensive look at the potential benefits of IT for LDCs taking into account SC collaboration, knowledge and technology transfer and thus optimized inventory management and customer satisfaction within the automobile industry. The book makes significant practical implications for companies wanting to achieve competitive advantages by improving customer satisfaction in emerging economies. It presents a new paradigm for further research by students and research scholars.

After a downforce of 775 kg (1,709 lb) is reached at 348.8 km/h (217 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce. The Enzos V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sistercompany Maseratis Quattroporte, using the same basic architecture and 104 mm (4.1 in) bore spacing.
