A few years ago I wrote an article titled "Light Shines on World's Craziest Battery Company" that was about EEStor, the secretive ultracapacitor manufacturer in Texas. Some people claimed that the company cracked the Gordian Knot of electric cars. Others said the science didn't seem to add up. EEStor compounded the issue by rarely speaking.
I thought maybe the headline was over the top. Turns out that wasn't the case. Since then, the critics and supporters have become more entrenched in their position, while EEStor has delayed its products a few times. Its public relations strategy, however, has become a bit weirder. Instead of maintaining near total silence, CEO Dick Weir occasionally speaks (I spoke to him once for about five minutes), but not often.
Now, EEStory.com has a transcript of an alleged interview with Weir, with an unknown interviewer. Some of the highlights:
Happy reading.
