^dead link. But on the subject of electric cars. I don't know what to think about them yet. If you have to plug them in than it's not free. Your electric bill is going to go up from charging your car. So depending on how much it goes up they might be a good thing. The other question I have is what is the range on a single charge. I know the old GM EV1 could go about 75 miles on a single charge and that was 10 years ago.

they look nice.. i thought I heard that Will.I.Am has his name on tha list to get one.

But I'm still waiting for tha magnetic powered vehicles. I was reading some shit on how some groups have figured how to harness it to be an infinite energy source, though not yet for cars.

if it was economical i would get one, but i dont need to be paying 100k for an electric car and then another 1000/mo for my electric bill either...


wheres the solar power cars we were promised 40 years ago??

[Hell-Sent]

I want to work for them... love the car, and the idea... all that needs to be done is improve battery technology -- I think the battery weighs like 500lbs and gets 200 miles per charge... get the per charge to around 500 and split the weight in half and big things could happen, fast

Id drive it, if it didnt make the power bill go up real bad.I remember talks of gas stations getting special units to charge these, so you would go just like your getting gas hook up your car and it would be charged in like 5 minutes.That wouldnt be 2 bad.

But i bet they sound like pussys tho.

lol.prolly sounds like a supped up golf cart.

lmao at xbox comment, but it probably wouldnt make any noise really..right? maybe a remote control car?

[~The Guyver~]

Idk its gotta make some kind of noise.The motor still needs to move metal parts to get the car going. Idk pretty interesting.Wouldnt mind testing one out.

the Tesla IS solar powered too according to their website....and check some videos up on it on youtube the shit's real nice. if my business picks up im gonna try to get this shit

[Krayzie7th]

they dont really make noise real quiet. One good thing about electric cars is that they have power instantly not like combustion engines that have to rap up to make power.
