Question:
All electric sports car. 137mph. 0-60 in 4 secs. 250 miles on a full charge that takes 3 hours. That is soooo much better than going to the pump so often. I can't wait for the next ones they make under $50k.
Answers:
People may not realize it quite yet, but this is the beginning of a revolution in transportation. It has been in our local newspapers here in Detroit, that Tesla is coming here to hire engineering talent for their upcoming electric family sedan.

The Tesla is not alone, either. Look at this car:

The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altairnano batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:
Car companies and subsidiaries?
-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)
*
Plus, I have been following, over the past year, news of at least two other emerging battery technologies that are as good or better than the Altairnanos above.
*
Incidentally, in response to one of the other posters, new Li-Ion battery designs are not hazardous - the Altairnano design has been tested by crushing and puncturing, with no fire or explosion resulting (which makes it safer than gasoline.)
*
Likewise, other negative speculations you may see about EV batteries are usually based on the assumption that battery technology has not evolved in the past 30 years.
*
Technology does not stand still.

My mazda 323 jerks in first gear - what are all the possibilities for a solution to this problem?
certainly SOUNDS good. Who can afford it?.OR of those who can afford it, how many would rather have it than their Mercedes SUV?I have replaced the ignition key switch 3 times on my 96 camery?
The batteries will work best on a slow constant draw...so you can probably go 0-60 in 4 seconds once per charge. As for 250 miles on a charge, I'll believe it when I see it. And using a crate load of lithium batteries will eventually result in a fire. I think it's a come-on product to sucker investors. As is the case with many "green" technologies, the green is other people's money.More Questions & Answers ...
