A simpler mechanism is easier to repair as well. But, once GM gets their hands on the design, all bets are off. I am sure the same people that designed Oldsmobile diesel engines that exploded at 30,000 miles and Chevy ECUs that crashed when nearby truckers keyed up their CB radio will figure out some way to make electric vehicles that fail prematurely and are difficult to repair. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
