People Wake up!!!
The constant production of oil, gas, and products for internal combustion engines is endless.
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ELECTRICITY IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THESE PRODUCTS THAT ELECTRIC VEHICLES WILL NEVER NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shut up about WHERE WILL THE POWER COME FROM!!!!!
SHUT UP!!!!!
A solar charger can store enough energy EVERYDAY ON YOUR ROOF TO CHARGE YOUR VEHICLE!!!! Every day.
DO YOU ALL WORK FOR EXXON MOBIL OR WHAT!!!

NEXT THING YOU KNOW PEOPLE WILL SAY WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SUN!!!!!
THE SUN IS TOO WEAK THATS WHY WE LOVE PETROLEUM!!!
SHUT UP!!!

THE RANGE OF THIS 4DOOR TRUCK IS 150 MILES ON ONE CHARGE!!!!
ITS ON THERE WEBSITE!!!
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SPAM AT THIS SITE.
ITS ALL FACTS!!!

NO MAINTENANCE ON AN ELECTRIC
VEHICLE WHATSOEVER!!!!
A motor, batteries, brakes and tires,
The motor is under guaranteed for 100,000 miles
as well as the battery.
Wow! I have to change the brake fluid!!!
WOW!!!
I have rebuilt a Chevy 305 V8(Durango), a Mazda B series pickup and changed parts on a Ford Contour(Piece of junk ), Honda Accord,Toyota Celica and numerous other cars. They are a PAIN IN THE *** TO WORK ON!!!
Just try putting an alternator into a Ford Contour and you will realize my pain.

READ IT BEFORE YOU POST AND LIE ABOUT A VEHICLE YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT!!!
THESE ARE MADE IN AMERICA!!!NOT KOREA, JAPAN or MEXICO!!!
CAN YOU BOTHER READING ABOUT IT FOR 30 SECONDS!!!

A battery is a battery period.
It lasts a certain amount of time.
If it lasts 100,000 miles in testing IT DOES!!!
Period!!!
They will be available to the general public in 2008.
You can either pay $3000 to 5000 dollars to BIG OIL EVERY YEAR or 25% percent that for a larger electric bill.
Cali is going solar and wind very quick so if your state is not you are MESSED UP!!!

IT IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY
It has been around since the 60's thanks to NASA.
I could care less about the moon but they had to worth something.
Lithium Battery technology is not new in fact ITS OLD!!!

Wow this has turned into a debate about Global Warming?
How?
Can't a guy despise Lee Raymond because he is lazy and greedy and BUSH KISSES HIS ***?
Do you think places in other parts of the world can't find geothermal or hydroelectric energy sources even where THE SUN SHINES LESS!!!\
LETS SEE-ICELAND IS DARK ABOUT 2 months out of the year!!! Interesting. But lets see most of the country is POWERED BY GEOTHERMAL ENERGY!!! WHY? BECAUSE THEY HAVE OVER THREE HUNDRED ACTIVE VOLCANIC SYSTEMS!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

Answer 1

sounds great! it would save me loads of money on gas and maintenance!

Answer 2

Get this...

Power is made by what process? the burning of coal or fossil fuels (oil)..

Gas/oil is a fossil fuel that powers our cars.

when the battery of your electric car charges.. what do you think you have to plug it into? an electrical outlet.. where does the power come from?.. buring oil or coal.

EDIT: Do you really think solar power is reliable enough to take the place of Oil and Coal?? Some parts of the world see no sun for days/weeks/months on end.

AND.. do you know that CO2 has just as much to do with "global warming" as water (clouds) do? If cars were powered by water, do you realize the humidity that would set in around most cities? It would turn into a political agenda just like Global Warming has already become!

EDIT AGAIN: do you say shut up because you are uneducated on these facts and have no way to back up your opinions? do some research, then repost. Look at the other side, so you will know where they will be coming from and find points that will back your side up or you will be sitting in this same little corner for the rest of your life.

email me if you want to debate, we'll see how far your uneducated ideas will get you. lmao

Answer 3

The technology exists to have a vehicle that can do that, but battery charge is greatly exaggerated. I can't charge a cell phone in ten minutes, let alone a car. Also, even if that were possible, where do you think the electricity comes from to power those cars? Most likely from a coal burning power plant. Personally, I love the rumble of my Camaro's V8, and like the idea of being able to modify and tune my engine. Also, I have a friend who has worked on electric cars and says that they are much harder to maintain than a typical gasoline vehicle. Only partly due to lack of part availability.

Answer 4

Nope. There HAS to be drawbacks. Every body won't rush right out and buy one just because they are there. It's going to take a heck of a lot of convincing before they start selling good enough to be considered practical, reliable, and suitably powerful. It's brand new technology and that ALWAYS means they have bugs that need fixed. Electric cars are not a new concept. The public is not ready to change to an unproven design, no matter what you think. The auto companies aren't eager to invest heavily in something they can't sell or does not give good enough profit margin.
And then there is the massive # of jobs lost to new technology in the auto and fuel business to consider.

Answer 5

480 lbs. of tourque
95mph
charges in minutes
you forgot to mention how far your dream car would go on a charge
You are not going to get a electric motor that can put out that much torque to fin in a truck let alone a car. Not only that, the wattage required to power a motor that large would need such a huge battery supply even with lipoly batteries you would need two motors to pull just the batteries. If it were that easy they would be everywhere.

Answer 6

Yes. I've seen the film, "Who Killed the Electric Car". Excellent documentary showing the electric cars available in the 1990's and Detroit's campaign to get them off the road.

Answer 7

I would in a minute, except I can't afford a cheap new car, let alone a 40-50k one. Even the kits to retrofit an existing car into electric are out of my price range.

Looks awesome though!

Answer 8

Thats not a car, its a dream

Answer 9

Sounds almost too good to be true

Answer 10

I'll take it.
