Tipex Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thing is, like most elecrtic only cars, it'll be 200 miles range, or 100mph for 10 seconds, which probably means a real world range of between 50 and 100 miles, which is frankly pathetic, and just not viable for 90% of the driving public. It'll be a long, long time before electric only vehicles become a viable (and cheap enough) proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Problem is that unlike the rest of technology/communications/performance etc batteries have pretty much crawled along in comparisom. Batteries are now so far behind coping with the 'state of the art' power needs of consumer electronics and automotive its going to be quite a while before it all catches up!!

garcon magnifique Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 To be fair, 200 miles is a longer range than the V8 Supercharged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, but you can fill that up with petrol in ten mins flat when you get 200 miles away, and drive it home, in the electric version, you've either got to push it 200 miles home, or find somewhere to plug it in for a week.

cruiser647 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I think we need to write to the 'Trades Description' people. It is NOT a Zero Emission vehicle. That's utter bollox. Also, how much does it weigh? Can you imagine the size of a car jack needed to change a wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 It is NOT a Zero Emission vehicle. That's utter bollox. : Exactly. It was built using loads of electricity, the components for the car were built using loads of electricity and shipped to the UK - esp. the batteries. And if used in the UK it is charged using electricity the vast majority of which comes from coal/gas powered powerstations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
