electric car does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
There is an electric sports car named the "Tzero" That can reach 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. The car has 220 HP and is street legal. There is a story on the N.Y Times (its free) and it can be found here: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/19/au...es/19ELEC.html

Jesus man, I want to see this damn car, but I don't want to sign over my first born child to access the site. Well, maybe I do, but still they want a lot of damn info from me just to take a look around. I'm not down for giving out my email address anymore. Spam owns me. :-\ :'(

Wow. 6800 lithium ion laptop batteries power that thing. That's an ass load of batteries. I'm not too impressed with the charging method though. It runs off 220v and it costs as much to run as a car that gets 30mpg. It might be cleaner and everything, but you still use the same amount of gas to power it basicaly since you have to plug the bitch in to a 220v outlet for 3 hours. I guess it would be worth it to smoke a Ferarri with your laptop powered G-ride.

0-60 in 3.7 seconds, and from 100% charge to 0% charge in 4 seconds flat... I hate whole idea of an electric car, today's batteries are just too much crap, too expensive, waste a lot of power when charging, last short and take hours to charge.

Re:electric car does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
the whole concept of "greener cars" is bogus for electric cars.. guess where the power actually comes from? thats right, the nuclear plant.. much better
i'd say hydrogen powered cars is the wave of the future. |
Re:electric car does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
I agree... hydrogen power is next.

Re:electric car does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
not next, next is the gas that you can run in regular engines made of corn

Re:electric car does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
when i was in high school i was part of the electron marathon....we built cars powered by 2 honda batteries...it would run 4hrs at 45mph on a full charge....also gm has a prototype batt powered car running on 65 batteries....milage on that was 700 miles on a full charge...

The sad thing is Bush's energy policy blows ------- ass and he wont spend money on reasearch to develop pratical new energy. Hydrogen wont be the next thing unfrotinately:(

i don't want to drive an eletric car. i want to drill in alaska...
we can make synthetic gas, its just expensive. when we run out of fossil fuels, they will start to make sythetic gas cheap. and we can still ahve our car. think about modding a ------- eletric car. thats HOMORIFIC |

WWU presents Viking 32- A carbon-composite chassis with a 100hp electric motor in the front mated to a diesel rabbit tranny with only two gears left inside and a 100hp Honda natural gas engine in the back. It will provide some serious acceleration for something that weighs about 2000 pounds.
