Texaco did take the patent for the electric car?

California ZEV mandate in 1990 forced GM and other automakers to produce Battery electric cars like the EV1 from GM. GM bought control of patents of the inventor, Stan and the late Iris Ovshinsky, in 1994, forming "GM Ovonics "under the pretext of going into production with the EV1. But GM Andy Card was the fight against electric cars for years, and the real GM's intention became clear when, October 10, 2000, GM agreed to sell control of EV batteries to Texaco. Less than a week later, on 16 October 2000, just days after Texaco acquired control of the batteries, Chevron Texaco has agreed to purchase a $ 100 billion merger. Chevron announced the merger, even though the GM sale of batteries what would become Chevron did not close until July 17, 2000. Perhaps Chevron wanted this sale will be announced before the merger so it would not look like Chevron (formerly Standard Oil of California) worked directly with GM. >>> GM and Chevron collaborated with Toyota-Panasonic so that these batteries were killed, and no such NiMH batteries are available for EVs. Chevron, awash under the oil profits, assets and cash reserves, says "this is a problem of the chicken and egg" from "not application ", but this does not explain why they continued Panasonic, extracting $ 30,000,000. Shortly thereafter, the EV-95 line of evidence, NiMH batteries still ongoing in the RAV4 EV, was arrested and killed, and the batteries can not be sold or imported into the United States, according to a spokesperson Toyota. Only a few used EV-95, recovery of crushed vehicles are available, and those who are to replace existing security RAV4 EV. Toyota will not sell even these used batteries to EV converters, who need long-term, reliable batteries and can not get it
