AGORACOM NEWS FLASH

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Hogey,

I looked a little closer regarding your previous link about Nissan scrapping their battery plant...http://www.autonews.com/article/20140917/BLOG06/140919855/scrap-nissans-leaf-battery-plant?-hardly

Perhaps the Germany Plant is not the one EFL is referring to?

Based on the quote below, could this be a licensing opportunity for EFL at the Smyrna battery factory in Tennessee?

"Regardless of who sells Nissan and Renault their future “battery technology,” finished EV battery modules will still have to be manufactured. Nissan decreed five years ago that its EV batteries must be made at the same assembly location as the vehicles they will power, for cost, logistics and quality control reasons. In this case, the electric Nissan Leaf is also assembled in Smyrna, a short stroll from the battery line."

The following link has some interesting points when the plant first opened in 2013 regarding the production capacity initially being very low but can produce up to 200,000 batteries in the future. Also noted that the the funding for this $1.7B Plant was supported by a by a loan through the Energy Dept which may make any investment from EFL initially very low. http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/13/nissan-battery-plant-begins-operations-in-tennessee/?_r=0

Thoughts?
