Just stumbled onto this and love it!! I recently spent £5,000 rebuiling the engine on my 1982 Lotus turbo Esprit, had I known about this before I started I would have called you first. A lightweight ’82 Esprit but with 650hp and 4 wheel Drive, oh yes please!!

I’m currently rebuilding a 1990 Honda Prelude to use as my daily driver and commuter. Just putting 2 of these motors in would double the power Honda originally gave this car and, I’m guessing, greatly increase the range over that quoted for the mini with 4 motors.

Both the Lotus and the Honda have big spaces available when the original drivetrains are removed; if you can fit this technology into a mini I’m sure it would fit into either of these vehicles.

I am interested in doing this, particularly to the Honda. Could someone e-mail me with the cost of such a conversion?

Best regards,
John.

When it comes down to global warming and the effects it has on everyone and everything i dont get why people go out and buy normal cars that ruen the planet. I really dont like life because everytime that topic is brought up it makes me emotional.Because i think most people go by the saying live for the moment.But some people are just dumb asses and they dont know about global warming. One way your company are ass holes is because youre not helping by making a car that is so “sexy” and then not selling it. You mine as well stand in your factories with your thumbs up your asses. I hope you read this peace

YOU SHOULD INTRODUCE THIS CONCEPT INTO THE AUTO MARKET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! it will have a real succes! i would love to see/drive an motorcycle based on your concept(maybe even “2WD” like the Yamaha WR-450F 2 TRACK)!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK/INOVATIONS! and make it available for everyone! You(PML), would be winners!

Wow! You guys and your technology are inspiring! A safe, perfomanced based, zero emission car. A winner with the consumer, if you can get your ideas out into the market place.

I would love an electric Citroen “Deux Cheveaux”. They are light weight and such a cute shape. Any chance of getting Citroen to make a Deux Cheveaux update with your technology? Please let me know how I could make it happen as a one off and help advertise your technology in Australia. China I think would be especially interested in your technology.

I’m sure that your technology is just the thing to replace the mechanics of older cars. In the US, we pride ourselves in modifications (hot rods).

Your vision is inspiring. I just spent 3000 to replace the transmission in my car, but would have tripled that to go electric. It’s not just the price of fuel that will attract people to electrics. You seem to get it!

Good afternoon,
I am passionate about exploring the development of solar and electric cars. I am very impressed with what Elon Musk has acheived with the Tesla Roadster. You seem to have something that could be made available to a much wider market. I love cars and driving and would love to see someone enter the Australian marketplace. The distances that we cover over here means there are a high number of vehicles per household and an eagerness to embrace environmentally sound technologies. If you wish to lead the Australian motoring industry, I would be very happy to drive one of your vehicles with advertising on the bodywork, and be an advocate with companies over here to manufacture and/or sell your product.

PLEASE PLEASE push this technology so that it is availble and commercially viable for owners of older cars.

Very impressive! I have driven my Mini S for about 15 months now, 25,000 miles, and thoroughly enjoy the experience. (135 mph or 34.7 mpg, I’ve had both.)

But your blending the battery and capacitor technologies is the first I’ve seen that may preserve both the driving and the conservation thrills. Congratulations!

I get the impression that you do not plan on commercializing this Mini, too bad.
