“Running electric cars with batteries on roadways has some serious shortcomings. At much lower costs and far greater convenience, electric cars and automated freight should run on rails. We don’t light our houses with flashlights and we should not do the same thing with our electric transportation.”
Jay Andress, founder of GoBFree
History made…first time ever single electric car on elevated rail!
Running electric cars that disconnect from the rail to reach local destinations like the automobile but run on a rail for longer trips and automated 24/7 driverless freight changes everything. GoBFree will reduce transportation global warming gases by 90% and greatly reduce urban pollution. So for $5,000 per vehicle to build the track and $5,000 to modify the cars we create huge benefits:
- Running cars on rails is completely self-driving. This is level 5 complete self-driving where drivers can use their time productively as the GoBFree travels at high speeds down the track, a benefit of $30,000 over five years of ownership.
- Eliminates the need for fast charging stations (costs $125,000 for every six electric cars) and even neighborhood and home chargers. No more range anxiety or wasted time charging.
- No need to spend $3 trillion in the US ($25,000 per home) upgrading the electric system for home charging stations. In developing countries, like India, which do not have widespread electric grids, GoBFree cars and freight is a great solution – now, not in decades
- The elevated rail travels above congestion, creating a third dimension for personal travel. Elon Musk’s Boring Company tunnel project, creating a third dimension to personal travel by going underground, costs over $25,000 per vehicle.
- We reduce the need for large batteries, the weight of vehicles, and the costs of electric cars by $10,000. With smaller batteries, we solve the limited availability of lithium and other natural resources.
- So, for $5,000 for the rail per vehicle and $5,000 to modify the car we create over $100,000 of benefits. And this doesn’t include all the environmental, geopolitical, time-saving, and urban planning benefits of driverless elevated car and freight electric transportation.
In mega-cities around the world where most of the population lives in high-rises and has no room for recharging stations… we can make electric transportation accessible to billions because the rail is the recharging system. We can even have the elevated track go directly into the upper floors of parking garages freeing urban areas for pedestrians.
In areas with tax credits, we will give away self-guiding electric cars for free like free cell phones. The business model of free cell phones and free GoBFrees is almost identical. In areas without financial incentives, we will sell GoBFrees for under $10,000. We plan to charge a monthly fee for 1000 miles of rail travel and give away free self-driving electric cars.
Go-B-Free from driving….Go-B-Free from global warming….Go-B-Free from traffic congestion…. Go-B-Free from the hassles of recharging….Go-B-Free from fossil fuels.
