Tom Hanks explains to David Letterman about the advantages to electric cars, and hybrids.
You don’t have to stop at a gas station, but it just transfers the fuel consumption elsewhere. If you get your electricity from coal fired plants, then the environmentalist will complain about that. Electric cars are fine for those who live in paradise-like climates like Southern Cal., but here in the South we use cars that have air conditioners and defrosters. These items would require a lot of energy from the battery of an electric car, and you wouldn’t get far using them.
unfortunately, much electric power in the US is still produced by burning fossil fuels. hopefully, we can change that in the next generation.
FatJan, its not that you have to be a movie star to own an electric car, its that the car companies won’t even allow you to own one. They simply stopped selling them. GM introduced the EV-1 after AeroVironment built the Sun Racer for the World Solar Challenge. After they came up with a working, functional prototype GM decided to lease them. After a month of leasing they took the cars back without the option to buy. If they gave us a chance to make a difference, we would. Just think about that.
First off, 90% of the population drive only 30-40 miles per day. So 70 is plenty, but not to the electric car companies, the new electric cars with Nickel Metal-Hydride batteries can get up to 200 miles per charge and can go up to 120 miles per hour. If you think electric cars aren’t worth the switch, read up on it and decide, don’t go off of what you see on some talk show. Mkay?
Honestly, ignoring any political/ environmental argument, the electric technology kicks any petrol car… checkout the British Lightning car, and the American Tesla
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…
No, you’re the ignorant and conservative idiot! I have a Prius, it gets over 40 mph, has great pickup speed on the freeway, and finally we have a president who is going to push for alternative vehicles. Get yourself an education about non-polluting, non-fossil fuel using autos, and public transportation, because that’s where the USA is going!
forrest gump drives a stupid battery powered car. yay. liberal dummies.
Tom hanks has served as a legend not only in his movies, but his value in real life will prove one day, very soon, even more legendary then his motion pictures.
“I’m not here to push my own agenda, Dave, I’m just here to plug my movie.” ahahahahahaha!!! so damn funny!!
Shu the fuck up, pisscunt.
so great the government made all these cars disappear so they can fuck you in the ass with gas prices -thank you america -you always fuck us unlubed……
Electric car huh, what happens if it rains or there’s a flood, zzzzap!!
But you’re wasting my time sir. Fuck you for being overly sensitive.
Anyway, that’s besides the point. This is a great video. I need to stop leaving comments on youtube; I get enough criticism elsewhere. I hate the pointless arguments and fights over over the internet. Its lame. peace.
Dude, go fuck yourself, and thanks for wasting my time. I knew I shouldn’t have read my inbox. Yah, I hate you too.
Hey PISSCUNT! Fuck you and your offensive name sir. Anyway I like electricity too.
i like tom hanks, he s an honourable man.
Well, I don’t go running around with that as a name in my normal, non-youtube viewing portion of my life. To be honest, I picked the name because I wanted to view a vid that was flagged. It was annoying to me that I needed to create an account just to watch the vid, so I chose pisscunt as the name. That’s all it was; I chose the name out of annoyance. I’m not going to change it, though, just because a few people, who I don’t even know, on the net have a lack of respect for me because of it.
So why have you chosen such an offensive title? Shows an extreme lack of maturity. How can anyone take you seriously?
Ok, now I’ve taken a lot of shit on the internet. By your profile, you claim to be pro-alternative energy. If you want to get people to do the right thing and support it, the last thing you should do is be arrogant and alienate people who are, more or less, on your side. The earth is going to turn into a smoldering pile of shit after global warming and nuclear war gets the best of us. I think there’s little to no hope.
Yah, I made a spelling mistake. Big deal! Lets not resort to belittling other people on the internet. Yah, my name is offensive, but the internet is a free format.
Tesla, not Testla, you ridiculously-named oaf.
