Paris to introduce Electric Car Rental Program

Plug In loves Paris

From the city that had the one of the first subway systems in 1900 comes another first. Mayor Bertrand Delanoe is introducing an Electric Car Rental Program. The program will start off with 2000 vehicles which anyone can rent for just a few Euros.

The cars can be picked up or left anywhere in the city. No word yet on how they are going to prevent theft and vandalism. Previous bicycle rental programs have been successful throughout Europe.

Expect updates as we hear more about this program. Yet another reason to love Paris.

    While i was playing with my remote controll cars last month. I met a few people who were using battery-operated types. Mine was gas.Any rate they were having a hard time keeping theirs charged. They would keep switching batteries.So I worked on the problem of keeping their cars charged while using them.
    I came up with a way to do just that. Now they use them all the time and never have to recharge their cars.
    Than I thought why not apply this to a large scale auto the real thing. I don’t know anyone who has one.
    I am certain that if I can keep a small car charged I can do the same for a real size car.

    So I offer this ill show you how you can do it to a remote car. Than you can apply it to a real car. The one thing that I ask is that you patent the idea under my name so I get the credit for a self contained fuel free auto or what ever it may be called.
