don't really care who won.would still choose the internal combustion engine simply for the that beautiful sound! Doesn't matter if it's the fastest, most agile car in the world, it's boring without any sound. Especially for any spectators watching the race. Kinda like watching a concert on tv while it's muted.
And how clean do you think your electricity is exactly? U.S. is mostly producing power from coal power plants, as China is... Electric cars research is fine but it should come along with research on clean energy production. And even solar energy, with its current dirt-bottom efficiency is nowhere clean due to high manufacturing Co2 emissions and short life-span. And we're nowhere near clean energy as long as it's not cheap and efficient as well as clean.
@jeremiech A whole lot of US, EU and UK policy is "out of sight out of mind". And anyway, On a watt per watt basis, it would be more efficient to add more power stations to produce xxx watts extra to power every car. If as an example we worked the other way around, and powered all our homes and offices with individual petrol engines then pollution would be epicly bad!
2. The electric car is lighter, which would be a big advantage even if it was a gas powered car (see: Lotus)
3. Electric cars will always do better on short distances, because the power of the electric motor is immediately available, whereas a gas powered engine has to build up to full power. But on a longer race a more powerful car will overtake the electric car.
I'm all for electric cars, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
THIS IS NOT AN ELECTRIC CAR. It's an Ariel Atom. It has a V8 engine and eats just as much gas as the porsche and the ferarri. The reason that it is so fast is because it iss so light.
Anyone ever heard of electrolysis? Hydrogen CAN be the way forward WITHOUT big companies. You put water in an electrolysis engine and it separates the molecules, with the only byproduct being fresh oxygen.
Ok ask me this, where does electricity come from? Air? Water? I think you will find it's from plants that often set fire to coal and oil. Back to square one, isn't it? Hydrogen is the way forward even if it still involved companies making profit.
They have to get the charging time down to max. 10 minutes OR make exchangable batteries. The first option is not possible with current battery technology but the second one is perfectly possible right now.
Imagine driving to a "former gas station" with an automatic battery swapping machine, the machine could change your battery within 2-3 min.
Of course the current infrastructure had to be changed accordingly but it`s doable.
To charge this car would take about 2 hrs if you plugged it into your house.
If everyone went to EV's instead of gas, the grid wouldn't be able to handle the demand because the grid relies on fossil fuels. But, here's the big but, if every person had to buy a wind turbine as part of their mortgage. You wouldn't need 1 power plant. If you're forced to configure your house to use less energy, you wouldn't need so much power to use it. In the end. The future is exciting.
Great video. Now get a car that is built for the quarter mile like the electric car. Either that or run the electric against both of these for top speed. Both the Ferrari and porch are built for speed. Not the quarter.
@eduardocillo You are very dumb. Just because the styling is similar doesn't make it an Ariel Atom 1 or 2. It doesn't make it a KTM Crossbow. It's still an electric car.
A lot of people going on about how you can't match power/weight of an ICE, but lets face it, this is basically a motorcycle with 4 wheels. With either of the ICE cars, you get a roof....
Compare that electric car apples to apples (Ariel Atom, KTM Xbow), and you get a car that is just as fast (0-60 is 2.8s, vs 4.3s for the modena, 3.6s for the gt) for 1/3 the cost
Sorry friends but you will never outperform an electric vehicle with an internal combustion engine. That's just physics. At least at the low end of the speed spectrum. People have this perception that electric vehicles are gutless when just the opposite is true. It's power to weight ratio is vastly superior and delivered to the wheels with virtually no loss. A well designed electric car is mind numbingly fast. Unfortunately they sound like a vaginas on Prozac.
@wildestwesty yah me too but what I really want is a hydrogen powered hovercraft you see I made a hovercraft but use a simple leaf blower as a power source but it only flys about 2 inches of the ground

What a rip off! Dont get me wrong, electric cars is the awsome and the futur but is an Arial with an electric motor and this fact is not told in the video.
Why do people find this so hard to believe? You can always produce an electric car that beats out a gas car. Electric motors can always have more torque. The fact that we have to use heat engines in our cars is retarded. They're about 20% efficient at best, have hundreds more moving parts, all to produce movement as a by product of the heat it generates.
i bet with all the trillions of dollars they gots... we couldve had a shit load of eletric cars made, that doesnt really cost shit to power up. i think they just hold it back to keep fighting that dam war.
yeah we all think that this is a cleaner car except its acctually the same if not worse than the gas power car. why? because it takes coal to make that electricity...big hole in ur logic...your welcome...just buy the normal cars so u dont waste money and time...
This is fucking retarded. A bare, stripped-down frame vs. a Ferrari. Huge weight difference. Strip that Ferrari down and watch it blow the doors off that electric pile of shit.
Electric car? It looks suspiciously like an Atom to me. With electric cars you have charge them up at the plug (which get their energy from power stations that pollute anyway) and you get about 50 or maybe 100 miles max before you have spend another 16 hours charging it up again. That's why electric cars don't, have never and will never work in the real world. Hydrogen is the way forward.
@worshiptheriff I don't quite agree. If we use one of those filter things that turns water into Hydrogen and Oxygen we can run cars with electricity, using hydrogen to create it. And only by using water.
@MrVTECKiller As I said. Water. It ways less then gas and doesn't explode like a big hydrogen tank would. Although it would have to be destilled water. Otherwise the salt and other things in water would clog it.
@MrVTECKiller Well I my self could make my own hydrogen at home with an AAA battery. It's a slow proces with that little power but with something like a car battery you could make it a lot faster. Try strapping 2 wires from the + and - and stick them into a glass of water. (add a tiny bit of salt for faster effect) the water should begin to bubble. Make sure to have something like a small tube or simular to capture the bubbles. (the tube being water-filled and upside down is the best way)
@worshiptheriff You are COMPLETELY right. If we can swap a battery for longer trips and/or charge at home each night while we sleep for regular commuting we will save PLENTY of money.
There is just one reason Oil Companies spend money to try to stop electric cars - PROFIT.
@CrossyCriss nuclear fusion is still beyond human use. Fusion inside a car is pretty much unseeable, and hydrogen fuel cells are expensive and difficult to cold boot. also platinum for the cells is expensive for a reason (its rarer than gold)
@CrossyCriss r The very moment we can place solar panels on the roof to charge those batteries in a extremely clean process, then use the money we did not spend on gas, on something else, and put that money back into the economy without going though the oil companies, this world will be much better off. Wow! I bet the oil companies will not like that at all. Hence the reason for all the miss information spurring forth in opposition of electric cars.
@worshiptheriff No, hydrogen and batteries can get their energy from the same place: electricity from the grid. Except hydrogen is very powerful alike gasoline and can be filled in cars very fast (unlike recharging EV's). Also, did you know an Electric Vehicule need to get it's battery replaced every 6-10 years, which costs around 8000$. Where do you dispose of so many batteries filled with nasty chemicals? Hydrogen-powered engines could last much longer than internal combustion engines.
Battery tech is really either lagging behind or fuel cells too damn expensive - still, I think the way forward is a non-exotic fuel based fuel cell than can dole out the needed voltage & more importantly, the amps.
Or, we ought to incorporate Ultracapacitors instead of batteries for now.
@uzernaam Electric cars need to be powered by coal or fossil fuels. They are actually worse polluters than huge SUVs. All in all, they are have less "mpg" than a Volkswagen TDI. The Tesla is 4x more money and just as fast as an Exige. And for reliability, the Tesla breaks down a huge amount of times. The Toyota engine in an Exige is actually a lot more reliable than the ton of acid sitting in a Tesla. Electric is not the way, We should focus on Hydrogen in my opinion, an actual "clean" energy.
Hydrogen powered cars also are electric only difference is you have a hydrogen tank and fuell cell in place of a battery and you also need electricity to make hydrogen. If you use fossil fuel generated electricity hydrogen cars pollute more because coal>electricity>hydrogen>fuel cell>electricity cycle is less eficient than simply charging and discharging a battery.
@FullyNimble You also need electricity to produce hydrogen,by that sentence alone I don't know why you prefer hydrogen over battery electric cars.An hydrogen car is really an electric car that gets electricity by a chemical reaction with oxygen from the air. Another thing,People tend to forget that there are renewable ways of producing electricity,such as Hydro,solar,wind,geo thermic. If you have an electric car, you could charge it at home using solar panels. Could you do that with hydrogen?
in some places an electric car causes more pollution because if the place mostly uses coal for energy then with the amount of coal burned to charge the car is worse than the gas.
@uzernaam well, until they increase the range and improve the time it takes to re-charge the battery, gas will remain king, that is, until the prices get too high
@Spyez Actually I've hit 160. It's funny you say it's stupid cause racing is one of the worlds biggest sports. I do consider myself an adrenaline junkie... Because I like to have fun. Maybe someday you'll experience the thrill.
yallare talking about gas leading to war and stuff i think that we are actually destroying our planet and the government doesn't care they just want to keep there money and yes Ferraris and Lamborghinis are definatly gay
Oil, war, and fear makes obscene amounts of money.
When that is no longer true, electric cars will reign and we'll finally build the 400 nuclear plants needed to completely break america free from oil dependence.
johnson1 but in the long run whats going to be more expensive fixing a whole bunch of electricity or metal? yes gas is bad but we need to watch what we are doing with these electric cars.
simple fact.. oil =war..power and money . the government has been keeping electric cars hidden from being mass produced for well over 20 years... the electric motor has been around since the ford model t
@killuminati1871 the problem isn't the motor, its the battery. To charge an electric car as you would refil a petrol one would require an electric substation. Even then, the car's range is much shorter... :-| but this will change in future. Electric motors are far more reliable, simpler, cheaper, than gas ones, so in time they will come to dominate. :-)
@optimalwebsite im not a HUGE conspiracy guy...but when the day comes that electric cars are as reliable" cheap" and simple" as gas cars the price of electricity will sky rocket to compensate the loss of oil profit... so you really wont save a dime...but then again you will THINK your "saving the environment"
AND u can bet there are elextric motots today available that is atleast!!! 30-50 more effeciant than then :() besides they are pushing forward fast reload batteris for mobile phones that can charge in under 30 second ;) Still not on the market though!
Joe Biden claimed that the $862 Billion failed stimulus ($400 remains unspent) “created or saved” 750,000 jobs. Economists don’t recognize jobs saved, and the jobs saved may have been keep local agencies afloat. When the money ran out, the people lost their jobs. Currently States are considering filing bankruptcy for spending. watch?v=IqmeT5ykKf0
The Govt owns 61% of GM, GOOGLE, “GM's electric-car fantasy running out of gas” and read links. The Green Movement should be free market driven
This is a stupid comparison. That electric toy is not a car fitted with standard car fittings. Its weight must be ridiculously small compared to the Ferrari and Porche.
Only problem with current electric vehicles? In a longer race between a Ferrari or Porsche and the electric car in this video from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back, the super cars would take something like.. 8 hours if they followed posted speed limits, while the electric car would take about 3 DAYS because of the short range and long charge time.
@alexrowland Renault - the first of the big manufacturers to launch a whole range of EVs - took the decision to invest in electric vehicules when it did a long survey that found out that 88% of drivers drive their cars less than 50km/day, with an average speed of 40km/hr while 90% of the day cars are simply stationed (probably in your private or rented parking or in the parking at work or supermarket). 25% of cars have passed 95% of their kilometric life doing small city distances.
@notgodsemigod So they electric car may have a huge market out there. Many among you have more than 1 car in the family. Well, the electric car aims at being that 2nd car, the one you will use to go to work or supermarket. Why would you take your BMW to go to work everyday (and then need to buy a new one every 3-4 years or something)? Why would you risk your beloved car to be scratched in a supermarket parking?... The EV will play that role so that to keep your beloved car for the weekends
A petrol V8 is the best sound in the world....I like the idea of electric transport, save the planet is fine, so long as you tell the Chinese their pollution is killing the planet not bloody car exhaust fumes....Oh..and how much fuel does a jetliner use ? and a diesel train perhaps..easy for the government to take it out on the motorist. nuff said.
@fezants lol and how much pollution from China is caused by other countries importing cheap goods from them. Countries claim to have met certain aims in pollution reduction, but if they were to stop importing so much it would be a different story. So who is really at fault? The trains i'm guessing are a lot more efficient than cars? And you are right about jet airliners.
@QuantumQuacks What I was stating about that law of thermodynamics is that no matter how you power a vehicle, the energy is still coming from somewhere. With electric cars you're moving the source of energy from a combustion engine within the car to a power plant. The energy is still coming from somewhere. Imagine your electric bill having to charge a car every so often in the garage. Of course you won't have to pay for gas but the fact is this, the power still has to come from somewhere.
@uzernaam I'm not going to argue about you being a teacher or not. This is the internet after all and we can be whatever we want on here. But anyway, electric vehicles aren't emissions free. Nuclear power has the disadvantage of having to deal with radioactive materials. Not exactly emissions free. As for wind or solar power? That technology simply isn't efficient enough to make a significant enough impact. Also I'm not sure where you get the idea that coal is cleaner.
only dumb americans like their polluting complex engines yeah baby suck my pollution my muscle car sucking gallons of irak oil that wer killed for, this is the future baby... time to go to bed usa, youre finished long live solar wind free energy savings good food civilization and peace and on top gov serving ppl, bankers in jail
@QuantumQuacks It's an even playing field because everybody can do it. The competition does not prohibit or discourage such techniques of getting votes. In fact, the company that runs the Nissan competition is an ad company!
If it makes you feel better I didn't win :). It's ok though, i took revenge via the nissan leaf polar bear video
@uzernaam Wah wah wah. Keep whining because you sound just like any other green freak who gets a hard on from listening to the fundamentalist's that are part of this eco bandwagon. If electric is better technology like you claim it is, how exactly do you think they get the power to charge the power source in the electric car? Because as you should know energy is neither created nor destroyed so in the end it's only coming from another source. I'm done here. Arguing on youtube gets nowhere.
The main problem with electric cars is range and the fact the infrastructure does not properly support them. What I mean is that pretty much all electricity is still generated using fossil fuels, so charging up your Tesla in the long run makes little difference ecologically. I think the hydrogen powered cars are a much better bet.
Electric motors are much more efficient and much more powerful than gas engines.
That's a fact. Don't even argue that dummy.

@CrossyCriss r The very moment we can place solar panels on the roof to charge those batteries in a extremely clean process, then use the money we did not spend on gas, on something else, and put that money back into the economy without going though the oil companies, this world will be much better off. Wow! I bet the oil companies will not like that at all. Hence the reason for all the miss information spurring forth in opposition of electric cars.

@worshiptheriff No, hydrogen and batteries can get their energy from the same place: electricity from the grid. Except hydrogen is very powerful alike gasoline and can be filled in cars very fast (unlike recharging EV's). Also, did you know an Electric Vehicule need to get it's battery replaced every 6-10 years, which costs around 8000$. Where do you dispose of so many batteries filled with nasty chemicals? Hydrogen-powered engines could last much longer than internal combustion engines.

Battery tech is really either lagging behind or fuel cells too damn expensive - still, I think the way forward is a non-exotic fuel based fuel cell than can dole out the needed voltage & more importantly, the amps.
Or, we ought to incorporate Ultracapacitors instead of batteries for now.

@uzernaam Electric cars need to be powered by coal or fossil fuels. They are actually worse polluters than huge SUVs. All in all, they are have less "mpg" than a Volkswagen TDI. The Tesla is 4x more money and just as fast as an Exige. And for reliability, the Tesla breaks down a huge amount of times. The Toyota engine in an Exige is actually a lot more reliable than the ton of acid sitting in a Tesla. Electric is not the way, We should focus on Hydrogen in my opinion, an actual "clean" energy.
FullyNimble 9 months ago
@FullyNimble
Hydrogen powered cars also are electric only difference is you have a hydrogen tank and fuell cell in place of a battery and you also need electricity to make hydrogen. If you use fossil fuel generated electricity hydrogen cars pollute more because coal>electricity>hydrogen>fuel cell>electricity cycle is less eficient than simply charging and discharging a battery.
SkyyCaptainn 9 months ago
@FullyNimble You also need electricity to produce hydrogen,by that sentence alone I don't know why you prefer hydrogen over battery electric cars.An hydrogen car is really an electric car that gets electricity by a chemical reaction with oxygen from the air. Another thing,People tend to forget that there are renewable ways of producing electricity,such as Hydro,solar,wind,geo thermic. If you have an electric car, you could charge it at home using solar panels. Could you do that with hydrogen?

in some places an electric car causes more pollution because if the place mostly uses coal for energy then with the amount of coal burned to charge the car is worse than the gas.

@monologuh It is the chassis and body of the Ariel Atom where he put his electric motor in.
He has the advantage of the lightweight tubular frame of the Ariel and the high torque of the electric engine.
It gives him blitz acceleration and keeps the Amps consumption low.

@QuantumQuacks What I was stating about that law of thermodynamics is that no matter how you power a vehicle, the energy is still coming from somewhere. With electric cars you're moving the source of energy from a combustion engine within the car to a power plant. The energy is still coming from somewhere. Imagine your electric bill having to charge a car every so often in the garage. Of course you won't have to pay for gas but the fact is this, the power still has to come from somewhere.

@uzernaam I'm not going to argue about you being a teacher or not. This is the internet after all and we can be whatever we want on here. But anyway, electric vehicles aren't emissions free. Nuclear power has the disadvantage of having to deal with radioactive materials. Not exactly emissions free. As for wind or solar power? That technology simply isn't efficient enough to make a significant enough impact. Also I'm not sure where you get the idea that coal is cleaner.

Because as you should know energy is neither created nor destroyed so in the end it's only coming from another source. I'm done here. Arguing on youtube gets nowhere.
AgentJohnson1 1 year ago
The main problem with electric cars is range and the fact the infrastructure does not properly support them. What I mean is that pretty much all electricity is still generated using fossil fuels, so charging up your Tesla in the long run makes little difference ecologically. I think the hydrogen powered cars are a much better bet.
