Question:
see the film"who killed the electric car?"
Answers:
What are the first steps involved to modify my car?
Of course electric cars are feasible - but not necessarily hydrogen cars. Take a look at this EV, which is real, and being built right now:*

The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altairnano batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:
What is the make and model of the yellow convertible driven by Lucy in the movie 50 First Dates?
-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)

Pretty neat, huh? Why aren't we being told about this car? Now lets talk about hydrogen.
*
Fuel cell cars are electric cars, with a hydrogen tank and fuel cell added. Now take a look at the Phoenix above and tell me - why add a tank of hydrogen to that? That's just going to make it expensive, heavy, and stupid. Hydrogen is the brainchild of the oil industry, so they'll have something to sell when we're driving electric cars.

If I were going to add anything to the Phoenix, it would be a solar panel, not a fuel cell. So I can drive for free.

PS - the guy who says to 'try and drive an EV in the midwest', that's where I drive mine. Cold weather doesn't matter. Pulling 20,000 watts out of a battery pack (that's what happens when you drive) warms batteries up real quick.
What can i do to my mitsubishi eclipse to make it faster?
There was no EV conspiracy. The public rejected electric cars because of range and performance. And that was in sunny California. Try running an electric car in the cold Midwest, the range and performance decrease dramatically,and that is without turning on any accessories. Hydrogen it a long way off . Decades. The hydrogen vehicles we have today run on PURE hydrogen, and must be super cooled at the delivery point. Negating any energy savings. Do you think the oil companies will just roll over and die? As soon as any
alternative energy threatens their profit, boom, they will lower the price by a few cents just as fast as they raise it.

Yes I know, it's because people don't know the real truth even now this very second about "who killed the electric car".when it comes to EV cars, most people don't drive over 100miles per day which is how far the GM EV1 went in one charge, WITHOUT a small ON-BOARD GENERATOR and a strong SOLAR PANEL on the roof of the car. For what I understand the EV1 didn't even have a transmission and transmissions usually make EV's go almost twice as far. People say that transmissions aren't needed for pure EV's but they are WRONG! Try pedaling a bicycle in gear like you're going up a mountain but really on flat land and try to do 20MPH, you will get tired really fast.
The GM EV1 was a good car, but even it could have went a lot further than 100-150miles. TO BAD THE EV1'S WERE RECALLED AND DESTROYED!!!!!!! They pretty much went to your house and stole the cars back by force!!!! EVERYONE WANTED TO KEEP THEM AND WANTED TO BUY THEM, BUT THE MANUFACTURERS STOLE THEM BACK AND STOPPED SELLING THEM LIKE THEY WERE EXPLODING TIME BOMBS!!!!!!!
