Will “range anxiety” slow acceptance of all-electric vehicles?

Podcast explores obstacles to all-electric cars must be overcome before much acceptance by public

All-electric vehicles will never gain public acceptance until the problem of remote recharging is solved, so warms a research engineer with Boston College. John Magee calls it "range anxiety" and people will be concerned about traveling from home without the ability to recharge. This is one of several issues that Magee discussed during his recent interview on the science news radio show “The Promise of Tomorrow” (Click here to hear the interview)

The survey only contains 4 questions.

Appreciate your kindness!

I'm joining a few relevant communities per suggestion of Max Maxfield. I head up Leavitt Communications (www.leavcom.com), an international marketing communications firm located in San Diego County. We represent some architectural and engineering clients so am very interested in keeping abreast of salient green design, energy, technology issues. We also just launched our blog on March 5th- http://leavcom.com/wordpress/; so would also welcome relevant comments for discussion too. You can also reach me at neal@leavcom.com. Thank you.

I am after the technical information and type of sensor found in the motor windings of the Vectrix motor (the sensor is not accessable). I am part of a team refitting an EV for the Zero race. Would anyone be able to direct me to a contact which may have the technical information on sensor type etc. taa Chris

Green Power is a very broad topic that encompases everyting from solar panels to smart buildings, something that makes it difficult to present in a way that's relevant to the electrical engineering comunity. That's why it's taken about a decade worth of trial and error to come up with with the approach to covering green power and related technologies that you see here on TechBites. For details on what we'll be covering here, see my blog entry "An Introduction to the Green Power Community" http://www.techbites.com/20090925590/myblog/blog/from-buzzword-to-bottom-line-an-introduction-to-the-green-power-community.html.
