Re: Electric Vehicles, in favor of? or disapprove?
So here are some things that the people are looking for in an electric car.
-Long range per charge -Super fast charging -Has to look like a car, not a golf cart. -Needs good acceleration -Needs to be within budget Under $50,000. -Needs a battery recycling program -Requires little or less than traditional Vehicles Please let me know if I've missed anything. At the moment. I dont think a vehicle with all these factors above can give you something under $50,000. Gasoline vehicles are very problematic, we were lucky to have 100 years to perfect all its problems, and build addequit infrastructure for them. Electric vehicles dont have 100 years to evolve, so dont be expecting a smooth transition between gas to electric. From what I already know, if we were dealing with Li-Ion batteries, there wouldnt be much of an environmental issue, its the lead acid batteries that require proper disposal. And im sure, there will be more and more solar and wind as well as hydro electricity power plants instead of coal plants in the near future. The reason for owning an electric is not only because of fuel costs, but also because of our increase production of carbon dioxide. Planes would need a solution too......Planes are a huge producer of CO2. Last edited by Generalx5 : 20-05-2008 at 07:32. |
