From Event to Action: Accelerate Your Decision Making with Real-Time Automation
Electric vehicles
1. • You probably experienced polution, it’s the smog
and other contaminants that float in the air we
breathe.
• In some cities around the world such as Los Angeles, Mexico City
and China, you can hear radio or TV alerts like the following...
– Alert, today the level of pollution in the air is high.
– Children and the elderly should not go outside,
– Those who practice an outdoor sport should not do so,
– People with asthma should carry their inhalers at all times,
– The rest should avoid going out, or wear a mask when doing
so.
2. • To solve this situation, a solution was created
some 10 years ago.
3. • In 1996, the first electric cars were produced, the
EV1 (Electric Vehicle 1). These were made in the
USA by General Motors and started to traverse
the roads of California.
4.
5. • These were fast cars, reaching 0 to 65mph
in less than 9 seconds!
• They were silent!
6. • They did not produce any type of pollution,
they didn’t even have a tail pipe.
7. • They could easily recharge at home
from any 110v outlet, or at the mall;
you even had preferred parking if
you had one of these.
8. • Ten years later these cars from the future
disappeared.
• How was this possible? Why did it happen?
• In the first place you could not buy these cars, you
could only lease them and when the lease was finished
you did not have the option to buy them.
• General Motors took back all the EV1s, in spite
of the opposition of its users (on the t-shirt you
can read: Save the EV1)
• and later…
11. • In 1997, Nissan presented the
electric model Hypermini
in a Tokyo show.
• The city of Pasadena (California
USA ) purchased these vehicles for some of their city
employees.
It was well accepted for its
easy parking ability as well as
adaptability around the city.
12. • In the year 2006, the lease expired and
the city of Pasadena needed to return
the cars to Nissan.
• The city tried to purchase the cars from
Nissan, but Nissan refused the offer.
• Nissan recovered all the cars to later...
...DESTROY THEM !
13. • In 2003, Toyota decided to halt
the production of the RAV4-EV.
(EV – Eléctric Vehicle)
• This electric 4x4 was a high
quality vehicle and was well
accepted by its users.
• In 2005, all the lease contracts
expired.
• Toyota inmediatly
recovered all the leased
vehicles to later...
DESTROY THEM! !
14. • But then some US citizens got organized:
• They created the “DontCrush” association
to try to save the RAV4‑ EV.
• This association pressured Toyota during a
3-month period.
• Finally VICTORY! Toyota authorized
those who had leased the RAV4-EV
vehicles to buy them. .
15. • While electric vehicles are destroyed,
those using gasoline are well protected
as we can see in the following:
• In June of 2001, Jeffrey Luers, a 23-year
old American activist for the defense of
nature, had a sad experience.
• He was arrested and put in jail with a
sentence of 22 years and 8 months for
destroying 3 Hummers (American cars
that consume a lot of gasoline).
• He wanted to espress himself this
way to make people realize the
danger that these monsters
represent to our planet.
16. The lobbies of the oil companies
don’t want electric vehicles to
survive...
...they want to keep up the oil rage in
the middle east, all to protect the oil
companies; they will continue to kill
and destroy anything that get in their
way, including us, with their
polluting vehicles killing all the
people on our planet!!!
17. • Do you know the snowball effect?
• Send this to 10 of your friends and have them send it to ten
of theirs, and that way you will help spread the news
around the world.
• Action - 1: If you find this information helpful, then
forward it to someone you know!
• Action - 2: Make the next vehicle you purchase an electric
or at least a hybrid; demand from the dealer for it.
• From now on there will be millions of people who will ask
the question: Why are these electric cars made and then
destroyed ?
• Do you want to breathe fresh air? Then do your part and
forward this! The lobbyists are not as almighty as they seem
to be.
18. SPREAD THE WORD !!!
LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW!!!
MAKE OTHERS AWARE !!!
• Together we can fight for our rights to breathe clean air!.
FIGHT TO SURVIVE!
