Electric Car Faster Than Any Gas Vehicle

[Xaero_Vincent]

What's better is an electric car charged for free with a zero-point electrostatic/magnetic vacuum-energy generator, which is mentioned in another thread.

I guess this means the battery police will be along shortly.

Nice, thxs for posting.

Nice all wheel drive, in wheel motors with full braking/regenerative capability

With eclectic cars, another major factor to consider is that their  regular maintenance is way lower than internal combustion driven cars.

No Oil change,
No air/fuel filter,
No timing belts 
No clutches to replace, or transmission fluid
Reduced wear to brake pads, or no brake pads at all.
Just to name few.
Lots of savings there, for the life of the car.

Thanks

Now that Penske owns carmaker Saturn, it would be an opportunity
if he were to look at alternate energy sources for his cars.

mikestocks;

Yes, these State inspection stations for ICE internal combustion
engine pollution problems is a giant game. How can anyone
expect an engine to wear out over time and not to start to
vest underlying pollution problems? Why is "like new" the only
target goal for pollution remediation? This is major cost to users
that alternative energy vehicles simply won't have. The electric
car chassis has to be considered the future of the automobile
industry independent of carbon footprint problems.

Not an electric, but sure looks impressive at about 235 MPG to be available next year

It seems that will have electric cars in the future. There is a hype around this cars (Tesla, GM Volt, …) Many people in the overunity-community can hardly wait fort hese cars.
A few days ago everybody can read the news about the leaked phone conversation from the secretive CEO of Texas-based eeStore. He revealed that they will produce a ground-breaking mega-capacitor (see: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10587618)

Also some MIT students announced a new electric car (187 kW AC induction motor, 0 to 60 in just 9 seconds and achieve a top speed of 100 mph at 12,000 RPMs, charge time: 10 minutes, range 200 miles) (see: http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/10-minute-charge-for-student-built-electric-car/).
Doesn’t that sounds great.

But have they ever thought how expensive it would be to charge up these batteries. To charge up the batteries from the MIT car you will pay â,¬ 70,00/$ 50,00.
Ok, may be there will be no pollution. But it will not be cheap!!!
