Once considered obscure, Hybrid cars are now taking the market by storm. And the next generation of 100% electric cars are on the horizon. The good news is that consumers now have a whole host of new car options that offer less trips to the gas station.

Cars in the US are responsible for nearly half the greenhouse gases emitted by vehicles around the world, and scientists say reducing emissions is crucial to combating global warming.
Carmakers are rushing to release the first fully-electric vehicles, and the US city of San Francisco is preparing for drivers to plug in instead of fill up, at special stations set up for fully-electric cars.

Global Electric Motorcars, a Chrysler company, has been in operation for ten years. Located in Fargo, North Dakota, Global Electric Motorcars manufactured its first vehicle in April 1998, a 48-volt GEM car that accommodated two passengers and had a top speed of 20 mph. Less than two months later, a significant breakthrough occurred in the market as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) designated a new class of motor vehicle, the low-speed vehicle, also known as the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV). The low-speed vehicle class allowed GEM cars to be driven on public roads if they met certain safety criteria such as having safety belts, headlamps, windshield wipers, and safety glass. GEM cars always come equipped with these safety features making them a benchmark in the industry.
GEM battery-electric vehicles not only represent a relatively new vehicle in an emerging market segment, but also a new and growing brand within the Chrysler family. Just like Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep®, or many of the other well-established brands in the company’s portfolio, GEM stands for innovation and leadership.
Global Electric Motorcars aims to establish its brand presence both as the maker of the top-selling NEV in the market and the purveyor of one of the smartest solutions to traffic congestion and air quality problems yet to be introduced. The solution: zero-emissions personal transportation that is well integrated with traditional alternative transportation choices such as mass transit and carpooling.
GEM models are sophisticated yet simple. They represent a new kind of personal transportation, that expands the capacity to have fun. They represent a versatile and efficient way to get the job done, as well as a clean way to do everyday work. GEM cars harness and put to work the power of silence.
Today, Global Electric Motorcars remains committed to maintaining its leadership position in the NEV market with product improvements, innovations, and offerings. Currently, GEM cars are available in six unique models and are seen in cities, master planned communities, universities and colleges, industrial complexes, security companies, airports, and resorts throughout the world. Looking to the future, Global Electric Motorcars is strategically positioned within the Chrysler family to aid in the company’s continuing efforts and commitment to developing, producing, and selling the world’s most environmentally-friendly vehicles.

Nissan Leaf Global Reveal Electric Car
Hey,
I’m just a crazy guy or are electric vehicles are the way to go. I have been very pleased with my DAYMAK AUSTIN electric motor bike. Third year of riding around the city streets (ebay shipping) and out the local highway. Have had a few electrical/electronic issues which I repaired quickly. However as with all new things there is room for improvement. I started by making my own printed circuit board with a MicroChip on the back. Have tried this board on many motors. Anyone want to buy a board with programmed micro to built your own electric vehicle hub motor controller. Use what ever MOSFET’s you want to. Control the low battery cut off without starting a fire. Here is a nice and neat solution. Wouldn’t low speed reverse be nice for backing your bike into the shed or garage. Going FASTER with MORE torque. After all that and then there is the battery pack. A better charger. How about that solar charger. Even a faster, quicker charger would be nice. I have made a few of these even a RV charger that charges the ebike’s 48V to 72V battery while the RV is being driven from town to town. Cool means of transportation for the next generation.
Now available on ebay…just search for “DIY Electric Bike BLDC Motor Controller PCB”

Install you own 12 MOSFETs (STP75NF75 or other)
Adjustable current limiter on 3 Phase BLDC PWM with reverse.

THE MAGNETIC MIRACLE of TROY REED’s SURGE TECHNOLOGY!??
[Updated Information On Reed]
In around 1994, Troy Reed claimed to have a fuelless, pollution-free motor with around 7 kilowatts of output, powerful enough to run a house or a car. The technology received a flurry of high-level interest, including major media. Actor and co-inventor, Dennis Weaver organized a cross-country demonstration.
The technology was apparently hampered when Troy’s wife and VP of the company divorced and moved to Costa Rica. Reed admitted on tape in 1999 that he had not achieved self-sustainability.
As of 2006, the son, Mark, is doing other things, but would eventually like to resurrect the “Mach II” version of the magnet motor, for which he has the full blueprints that he drew.
Does anyone know who retains the ownership and control of this technology to continue its advancement?
In 1999 Reed admited on tape that the magnet motor was not yet self-sustaining.
A producer in Hollywood said to Sterling D. Allan on July 15, 2007:
“I have a one hour exclusive video with Troy Reed that I filmed back in ‘99. How about I give it to you for the upcoming site, it had all his goodies in it.
“The Motor didn’t really sustain itself when I was there but it seemed promising. He is a very bright guy and a great machinist.
“Troy dropped this back in 2000 in favor of some new battery technology that he sold to Duracell or some other battery giant.
“I played with this unit and have my own footage… He admits his defeat to me on tape about making it self sustaining. Essentially a flywheel with a solenoid. It had alot of promise but the battery stuff he was developing was pretty amazing.”

On Mar 17, 2006, Troy’s son, Mark, allegedly wrote ( http://control-alt-delete.ca/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4249& )[slightly edited]
“The problem that happened is that Troy (Dad) and Evelyn, his wife at the time and VP of the company, got a devorce while dealing with a company to manufacture the base product.
Of coarse egos got in the way along with financial problems. I think Evelyn has moved to Costa Rica.
“Some of the technology did make it into the EZGO golf cart. A lot of other issue between Reed Technology’s and other company that where in negotiations.
“Dad has been working on some other project that may some day come out.
“As for me I had to go back to work to make a living but in the back of my mind I still want to build the second generation of the magnetic motor that was named the Mach II, which I still have the original plans I drew up so 10 years ago. The Mach II was designed to have around 400 HP at 1500 RPMs. I am listed as the co inventor of this motor; and maybe some day I can get back to it. Many people in the “Free energy” groups like Richard has seen the base plans for this next generation motor.
“But with the issue that happened, who know when this project will continue.
“Sorry to all of you that were involved and where let down.”
Co-inventor: Dennis Weaver
Actor, Dennis Weaver (http://www.dennisweaver.com/) helped promote Troy Reed’s technology, but apparently to no avail. He founded the Institute of Ecolonomics
Weaver died in 2006 at the age of 81.
Inventor: Troy Reed
Born in around 1937. Appears to have died in 2006.
