Listen to Alec Brooks' presentation at the California Air Resources Board ZEV Technology Conference
Alec Brooks could be called an expert in the field of electric cars, as a matter of fact, if you listen to this mp3 audio file, you will hear him referred to as such. And with good reason, as he has years of experience. He was involved with GM from the early days of their electric program and was an engineer on the Impact and later on the EV1 team. He currently works on unmanned aircraft.
Alec recently made a presentation to the CARB ZEV team. You can listen to it here, and read a little about him at EVWorld, where I found this information. He speaks on greenhouse gases, and with his current position at AeroVironment Inc. he discusses some of their current projects. I think it is interesting and worth listening to. I hope you enjoy it.
He has some interesting things to say about the EV1 project, how he got involved and details on how the car came about. With all the interest surrounding the Chevy Volt, it may be worth reconsidering.

I can't understand one thing - why all electric cars have futuristic design? Why they can't have design common to widespread cars?

WOW!!! According to Alec Brooks, "… Fuel cell vehicles consume 4x the amount of electricity per mile than BEVs…” This report is well worth listening to. Alec actually coined the term "vehicle to grid" (V2G) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_to_grid Electric vehicles are 4x more efficient that Hydrogen vehicles.
Alec knows what he is talking about. Anyone with even half a brain and a little education on the subject understands that hydrogen is a red haring scam. http://www.oilcrash.com/articles/h_scam.htm http://www.ozone-depletion.com/ http://www.timrileylaw.com/LNG.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_power
Big oil is pushing Hydrogen simply because the vast majority of it comes from their product Natural Gas.
