Frank's Workbench III

The EVT-X Innovation System is a combination of several different technologies working together to provide sustained motion to a given vehicle. The system is not an attempt at perpetual motion. It is not something for nothing. In essence, it is a range extender for electric vehicles. A vehicle getting approximately 250 - 300 miles per charge now, should get about 1,000 miles per charge when utilizing our system. Let's be honest: it has limitations due to systemic losses, driving style, tire to road and aerodynamic friction as well as environmental influences - heat, cold, rain, sleet, snow, altitude, tire condition, vehicle weight/load and road grade.


Use of this system, however, will have a great impact on reducing a vehicle's carbon footprint and increasing reliability and driver confidence in electric vehicles. It should help reduce consumption of fossil and nuclear fuels for recharging every single electric vehicle everyday. This, because daily recharging should not be required.


Imagine a future where every vehicle is electric powered. Utopia, right? Well, the utility grids may not think so, as every one of a projected 30 million electric vehicles plugs in to recharge at the same time! Where do we expect all of that sudden and extremely heavy load of needed power to come from? Will existing power plants be able to handle that huge load? This is a point of discussion not usually brought up when discussing how to get more and more electric vehicles into the mainstream and on the roads.


If we use the the EVT-X Innovation System in just 20% of future electric vehicles on the road, we can effectively remove 20% of vehicles that need to be recharged every day from the utility grid. Isn't that an immediate cost savings to vehicle owners and electricity producers both? It will also help the environment by requiring reduced consumption of fossil and nuclear fuels.


If, by adding millions of electric vehicles to the roads, we increase the need for more electric power generation plants, where do we put them and how much environmental and social impact will they have? Will they be accepted as a panacea for electric mobility? Or, will new power plants be viewed as a pariah, thereby bringing out every NIMBY on the planet?


These are just a few things to consider
