Does it go 120 mph and 400 miles on a charge have AC and heat?

Otherwise I will stick with the Dinosaur fuel.

I drive 50 miles to work and back a day. So I'd have to recharge this guy every other day. Not so bad. Now, how much will it cost me to recharge it? How many kW of power does it take?

Now I'm no engineer (but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night), but it seems to me that if a car is cruising down the road at 60 MPH, that it could somehow generate the power to charge the batteries that run the thing.

I'd drive one if they had it rechargeable by solar panels.

The technology is out there if someone wanted to dedicate the time to make it work. American Ingenuity is far from dead.

I drive 8.2 miles to my office, all on surface streets with a top speed limit off 40. Several of my friends drive three to ten miles to a park and ride every day, also on surface streets, and take the bus the rest of the way.

What about folks like them and me? Especially if we don't want to ride a motorcycle or scooter.

'Course, for me, summertime means bicycle commuting.

The real problem for these is that the electricity is not free. If they had plug-in's at work, I'd seriously consider it.

Does it go 0-120 in 14 seconds, and have 400 rwhp like my GTO? Otherwise, I'm sticking to the Dino fuel too.
