1. EVcast #416: Fisker in the Cradle
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 4.25Mb)

Description:

This is a quick song about my EV struggles.  Enjoy.  Listen first, read lyrics later.

I read about Fisker, just the other day-
It goes 50 miles on electric they say
I asked to see the car, they said wait till May-
well that's not very long so hip hip hurray,
I gave'em my order, and five grand too,
They said, "you're gonna have your car - soon",
You're really gonna have it soon

And it's been several months and it's now past June-
They don't have a clue and-it's-not very soon-
When's it gonna be now?
They don't know when - but you'll get-your-new-car then-
We'll get you your Fisker then

Fisker turned four just the other day-
"Can I get my car now I am willing to pay?"
They said sorry, Bo but not today
We got some more do, I said "that's OK"
And I -walked away but my smile never dimmed
I said, -"gonna' have my Fisker soon,- yeah"-
I'm gonna drive electric soon

And it's been two years and it's way past June-
They still don't have a clue and-it's-not-very soon-
When's it gonna be now?
They don't know when,- but you'll get-your-new-car then-
You know you'll have your Fisker then

The years have passed,- time has slipped away-
Fisker called me up just the other day--
They said, "Thanks for the wait, you've been so kind,
Your car is in, let's get these papers signed"--
I said I got bills to pay- and I got-things-to-do,
But it's sure nice hearing from you, yea-
It's sure nice hearing from you

And as I hung up the phone- I grabbed my key
'Cause I bought a Nissan Z
I bought a Nissan Z

'Cause it's been too long and it's way past June-
I'm cruzin' in my Z while i'm singing' this tune-
I ran out of patience
And I don't know when, but I bought-my-Nissan then, yea-      
I bought me a Nissan then   

(Note: this is based on my true experience, but I have not given up on Fisker yet!  I have not bought a Nissan Z -- that was the only car that rhymed.  The Fisker Karma is amazing and I will press on -- for the time being.)

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 28.81Mb)

Description:

Today on the EVcast Power Hour we hear from one expert that says that EVs need maximum exposure, while the CEO of Canadian (Cars made out of Weed country) Ford says that EVs will have a minimal impact by 2020, just 20 to 25% of the market. Minimal. Meanwhile a study to come out in November by a group that has handed us strange studies before says, one more time... EVs will not be as clean as we thing they would be if their electricity comes from coal... I can't wait to get that ground breaking study when it comes out... when did they say it was coming out again? A few years ago? No, no, November. OK? Hyundai is coming out with an electric vehicle in 2012 to be called the BlueOn. BlueOn? What does that mean? And finally Paul Scott of Who Killed the Electric Car? fame gets a job and now can stop annoying all of us anymore with his constant pushing for electric cars. Oh. He got a job selling the Nissan, Leaf. All we can do now is buy a Leaf so he will stop hounding us. Make him stop.

Description:

My air conditioner works pretty good, but can't keep up with the how hot it is now. Is this global warming? This year in Washington, DC we are experiencing global weirding, from having lived through snowmageddon this winter to having to deal with record heat for April, May, June and it's only the 8th of July, but this month is already going down in the record books for the most record breaking hot days in a row. All this heat is pushing the grid to its limits. What would happen if you were to add EVs to the mix? We are simply going to need to build more infrastructure. We also explore Smith Electric Vehicles, which is the company the President visited today. This is an EV truck company ready to take your orders today. Also take a look at Nissan's DeZir. Another incredibly hot red electric sports car. How many hot electric sports cars do people need? Oh! Oh! Oh! I'll take one.

Description:

Today on the EVcast Power Hour I alone jump off the Smart Grid band wagon. Let's face it. Is there one Smart Grid that we can point to and say that is the smart grid? Depending on which Smart Grid we are talking about things could be pretty darn painful.

 

(All opinions expressed here are opinions of Joseph Lado only. I mean it. I don't think anyone else shares my point of view. Any names used are based on things I have heard or read, but did not commit fully to memory, therefor chances are that I may have been expressing things as fact when in actuality they are probably gross approximations done without preparation and hard notes. I may have my information wrong, but at the time that I expressed my opinions I believed them to be true. What ever that is worth.)

This week we have Bob Lutz and Chris Paine put on boxing gloves and enter into the ring in a literal clash of the titans… Look at the date of this podcast.

We actually revisit what it is like to be one of only a hand full of EV owners in the Mid-Atlantic region and the great responsibility that comes with it. I, of course, put the experiences even though I loved them, in a negative light and talk about the lost weekends, the exhaustion of spending all your time talking about the vehicle and the occasional repairs needed when encountering overly energized kids, while Eric Lado points out the positive aspects of meeting crowds of people, the meat delivery man who stops his truck in front of our house, which is not one of his delivery stops, and rings the doorbell hoping he can talk to the owner of the electric car parked outside. Stories and experiences abound when you own an electric car. Come give a listen.
