"In Australia you ... ( 3 weeks ago by ClownFight)

"In Australia you cannot register an electric car." is the comment I was responding to. Thanks for your clarification. We wouldn't want to give future EV motorists the idea that it was not possible to register an electric car.

Sure as hell don't ... ( 2 weeks ago by dtbakerqwe123ou)

Sure as hell don't need ABC "NEWS" telling me about engineering. Early on, the electric was very viable, before we lost our street car and rail systems, then became drunk on gas. Ford developed/leased an electric, the EV-1 and though people loved it, they took them back and crushed 'em. GM decimated the street car system to sell buses. Leave it to the "big three" (networks) to drag feet and equivocate about new tech...just like the "big three" old school auto makers. Screw the six of em.

I misspoke EV-1 was ... ( 2 weeks ago by dtbakerqwe123ou)

I misspoke EV-1 was GM. So what? they fucked the dog anyhow. Lousy ABC report - all kinds of ooos followed by nothing but equivocation and misinformation... Could not ABC even have the forethought to calculate the cost of going 200 miles on the grid vs 200 miles on dinosaur piss? Of course not - simple engineering - how many BTU's to move mass for 200 miles. How much per gallon for that many btu's vs kilowatt/hr. Do the math (minus) no belts, hoses, oil, filters.... Reporter was dummy owned.

i could cover my ... ( 2 weeks ago by gilessmokey)

i could cover my house with solar pannels and it would take about sixty days to recharge.(not much sun in uk at moment) and bear in mind that crusing at a steady one third power,this vehicle will run out of battery in one hour,flat out less than twenty minutes!

there is no upside ... ( 2 weeks ago by gilessmokey)

there is no upside either unless you are running on renewables,which ain`t easy. bear in mind bio fuels are currentley available for petrol and diesel vehicles. my small diesel pick up runs happily on readily available vegetable oil and returns a measured average of 56 miles/uk gallon.

$109,000.00. LOL Looks like Tesla will be following GM, Ford and Chrysler out the door. Just like the big automakers, they are ass backwards in their thinking. Build a high dollar vehicle and work your way down. ROFLMAO

great point RegularFool lets make a super expensive sports car that looks good instead of a cheaper less "attractive" model. idiots lol

For one hundred ... ( 1 week ago by TEMPESTSPARK)

For one hundred grand I could build 4-8 electric Cars ... anyone want to put their money up? Lol didnt think so.. Money seems to be the biggest problem developers have and big companies dont see a huge return on their investment because efficient and well built cars dont make Money, So why invest in a product that you wont make a profit in ?

By the way this ... ( 1 week ago by TEMPESTSPARK)

By the way this video clip is a bad portrait for an electric car .. The reporter words it very critically like its a novelty that wont catch on . Have they built an alternator into this car to charge the battery up as its being used?

That doesn't work. ... ( 1 week ago by ReisendeEuropa)

That doesn't work. You simply use the motor as a generator when slowing down. Look up 'regenerative braking'.

How would the power ... ( 1 week ago by ReisendeEuropa)

How would the power run out in an hour when the car goes 244 miles at 60 miles per hour on a charge?

well at one third ... ( 6 days ago by gilessmokey)

well at one third power the vehicle will be using 50kw and the battery capacity is 50kw/hour ie the battery can supply 50kw for one hour.

There are so many ... ( 6 days ago by ReisendeEuropa)

There are so many factors to consider with this. Motor load, wind resistance, mechanical resistance, and the fact that 30% power will still accelerate the car. You use about 2-7% to maintain average highway speeds. A study several years ago showed that a large American pickup truck only needed around 15 horsepower(roughly 12kw) to maintain 55mph. 53kWh/12kW=4.41h run time. At 55mph this equals 242.55mi. I'm guessing this is very close to what the Tesla uses.

Thanks ... ( 6 days ago by TEMPESTSPARK)

Thanks ReisendeEuropa I'll look into 'regenerative braking'.

the EV1 did not die from lack of popularity

Exactly!! do you ... ( 5 days ago by Sashia48)

Exactly!! do you not know that 90% of ALL media is owned by only 5 entities? This is how they control public opinion. I'm surprised they're still alive. Tessla died when he tried to prove and market his inventions because they would have destroyed current industries.

Or, like you have a reserve can with gasolin, you `ll have an extra battery.
