Chevron are squashing NiMH http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_metal_hydride_battery batteries by a key patent that expires in 2015. NiMH is one sixth the cost of Lithium batteries and is at present the only viable cost effective way of creating a battery driven car. Lets us manufacture the battery ourselves using a FrontingCompany. South-Africa's legal sytem is a shambles it would take up to 5 years just for a court case to go to court for patent infringement. By then we setup another FrontingCompany and the whole process takes another 5 years. All sorts of schemes can be devised such as manufacturing key components on separate premises etc. Small petrol driven vehicles can easily be converted to three phase or DC electric drive. See ElectricCar. Oil imports is destroying our economy we should do everything we can to stop the outflow of US dollars to Chevron we simply don't have. If we could become only dependent on Sasol for petrol our interest rates and inflation figures would fall resulting in robust economic growth. Under SA law patent infringement is a civil issue and trademark infringement is a criminal issue. You can't go to jail for a civil matter and this loophole in our law can thus be exploited via our FrontingCompany.
