Know what else? It's gonna be a 'Merican who does it. Dat's right! The Great Satan!
You like apples? How bout dem apples!?
Does it go 120 mph and 400 miles on a charge have AC and heat?
Otherwise I will stick with the Dinosaur fuel.
So. GM drops their electric car because of lack of interest by buyers, and this guy thinks his will sell?
Not until they can come up with one that will go at least 300 or more miles between charges.
E85 is far cheaper, $100 for conversion;
Reduces dependence on oil much more than hybrid;
And you don't have to burn coal to charge it.
Yeah, but where does the energy comes from at the power station? Usually it's some kind of carbohydrate
What people need to understand is that plugging a car into a 110-volt outlet doesn't give you "free" power. At the rate utility costs have been escalating over the last 10-15 years, there's a decent chance down the road that plugging in your car could eventually cost more than filling it up with gasoline?
still have to generate the juice. . .
Just to get to work, that thing would be awesome. AWESOME. Hell yeah I'd drive it. You put a good sound system in there, you're golden.
Electricity comes from magic!
this is the only thing they should have be marketed for,imo,but,what's the cost to charge it vs. filling up a 4cyl gas mizer? and are we gaurenteed the electricity comes from solar,wind,hydro or nucular sources?
I'll buy one of these cars just as soon as John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelois, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Carl Levin and all the rest of the liberals turn in their automobiles and buy one.
This is the cue for someone to post that pic of "Mr. Fusion" from Back To The Future.
It's hard enough paying extra, in the hot months, for air conditioning, but wait 'til you see what re-charging your electric car costs on your electric bill each month.
I have a friend who found out the hard way. First three weeks he had the car its was "Nyah nah nah nah nah! I don't have to buy any gas!" Then he got his power bill and it was way more than double the usual (close to $600 for a three bedroom house...it normally runs him from $150 in winter to about $200 or so in the summer).
It's a start in the right direction to free the Americans from dependence upon a nonrenewable resource imported from unreliable and unstable govts who hate America.
Yeah, it's not like my electric bill has skyrocketed. < /sarc >
Meanwhile all of the "alternative fuel" cars are using the roads without paying the taxes that maintain those roads. I suggest raising the licensing renewal fees and lowering gas taxes.
"It's a plug-in hybrid. It uses absolutely no gas. "
Huh? If it's a hybrid, that would indicate a cross of two or more technologies. If it's all electric, then it's not a hybrid. If it is a hybrid, forget the electric part, I want the gasoline motor that uses no gas!
"If you're fed up with paying high gas prices..."
...then look down. There. At the end of your leg. Yes, that's foot. You have two of them. Simply begin by placing one foot out in front of you, and then follow by placing the other foot out in front of that one. Repeat as needed.
Not fast enough for ya? Then open that wallet and fill up your tank. Driving directions? Sorry can't help ya there, liability reasons you know.
I don't want an electric car. I've seen what drivers of electric cars look like, and frankly I don't mind spending 1/2 hour on personal hygiene every morning.
The more options to the table, the merrier. Electric, ethanol, biodiesel, whatever. Compete the price of gas down to where it belongs, and deprive third world dictators of their plunder. Everybody wins.
