but, there is a root problem……they still need to sell Oil!!!!!
Maybe when the oil is over, or the prices get an unpraticable price….the massive prodution would be made!
Is the Ion-Litium battery sustentable?
how we can descart it when the car is not usable anymore!?? Do we have enough Litium avaliable? If we consume litium how expensive could it get????
Is not quite simple, but is the way!
I would be a little nervous about the fact that their representative thinks formula one and indy car chassis are made out of bonded aluminum structures.
Obviously English is not my strong point but you get the point.
In order to have electric cars to be a competative with combustion engine vehicles somebody (a company or the gov’t) are going to have to build new or convert older infrastructure to support a new fleet of vehicles. Everytime you flip the lights on in your house you pay an energy bill. Everytime you use the stove you are paying a gas utility bill. I can only hope “they’ll” set up Energy stations instead of more Gas stations. The key is lesser or no emissions and cheaper, renewable energy.
Tesla wasn’t forgotten he was deliberately suppressed.
I find it strange how this guy can come forward all of a sudden and challenge the oil companies, there’s got to be some kind of control scheme here. This guy would be SHOT if he tried to cross the oil companies, so he must be connected AND supplying profits to those corporate interests.
Something about this is smells really bad. I bet you they’ll set up ENERGY stations instead of Gas stations. Yup…
I don’t think the company has gone public, yet
Absolutely true and those who can’t see that are blind. The I.C. engine is not that much different to a steam engine and in the years to come it will be viewed in the same way at museums. A noisey, heavy, complicated, inefficient, polluting lump of iron! Buy up shares now in any company involved with the design, development and production of electric motors!
100K, deal. Sign me up.
Well at 2.7p per mile, and 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, it is kinda tempting
I love that electric car makers have woken up to the fact no one will like them until they out perform the best of petrol…
Just looking into the stats, there’s no way petrol can keep up with what’s coming… no physical gearbox (wheel drive), 96% efficient motors, massive torque from start… full charge in 10 mins (British Lightning tech) it’s the end for petrol within 10 years I reckon…
Or, like you have a reserve can with gasolin, you `ll have an extra battery.
One problem! If you get a flat battery you are going to need some mighty long jumper leeds to get home.
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.
the EV1 did not die from lack of popularity
Eh would less pollution be a good enough reason
Thanks ReisendeEuropa I’ll look into ‘regenerative braking’.
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.
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.
How would the power run out in an hour when the car goes 244 miles at 60 miles per hour on a charge?
That doesn’t work. You simply use the motor as a generator when slowing down. Look up ‘regenerative braking’.
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?
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 ?
great point RegularFool lets make a super expensive sports car that looks good instead of a cheaper less “attractive” model. idiots lol
since the reporter said nikola TESKLA in the beginning
Largely forgot! WTF is she talking about!!!!!!!
$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
