Two are in the center front and four are in the center back. (from their website.)
How long does it take a coal powered utility company to charge it for that 372 mile range? How much does each charge cost the driver? How well does it handle a crash? What would be the expected costs from a 20 mph crash?
There are a lot of questions that the answers cannot be found for in the article and on the company website.
Let’s see the range on a typical winter day with the heater running and hot summer day with the air conditioner blasting especially if the car is left outside overnight. What rare earth metals are used in the battery? Who supplies these minerals besides the Chinese? What are the environmental impacts of mining these rare earths? What is the replacement cost of the batteries?
Yes, there are a lot of questions... But the key word here is “concept”. And looking at this car, I’m not sure too many soccer moms will be transporting their kids to the game in this particular car.
My only issue with this “concept car” is will it come with downloadable apps for whatever engine sound you want to hear? I mean seriously, you can’t drive something like this from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds with out some kind of roar. That just ain’t right...
