the beauty of an electric motor, capable of higher rpm than a traditional combustion engine without blowing up, allows you to get more out of each gear without worrying about redlining.
i hate electric cars, they dont make sounds, electricity is not the future, natural gas or solar powered maybe but i just think gas engines with higher effeiciency are better!
Think these are out the box doing low 13s to high 12s think what will happen in just a few short years. Cars will get faster in the futur which defines technology the ablity to faster for less.
Energy sources without the need for fuel or energy input exist ,But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be part of the revolution!
@blaxpear so 100,000 dollars is a great value for a car i can beat in my 30,000 dollar mustang? also, i would advise you to take some engineering classes before you call today's petrol engines stoneage
It comes better: EVs can last slonger cuz they have almost no moving parts and a way simpler transmission (2 gears) so they also dont depreciate so much like gas cars and u save repair costs.
Even better: buying the car now and upgrade it by buyin a new battery in 5-6 years that will probably give a range of 500 miles. I say: sweeeeeet investment!
actually some do. An ev, even one with a 14000rpm redline needs at least two cogs to get lickety-split to 100kmh and still top-out at 200. In fact, transmission design was a problem of Tesla Motors that delayed their final launch date for the Roadster. So bigger+faster ones need one
@35speedracer1 correction, they had to add another gear as the older 1 gear tesla had transmission wear problems .. imagine all that torque starting 1rpm delivered to only 1 gear.. so it's a 2 gear now .
no it takes 3 hours to charge up if u have a 240 volt charge station WHICH is recommended. in the new Model S car (which comes out 2011) it has a 300 mile range which is awesome since the average driver goes less than 40 miles a day. The new Model S can charge in 45 minutes and they are building replacement battery stations in case u have to go on long trips.

@tuugfo solar power generates electricity, therefore solar power IS electricity.

@skisail No, electricity IS electrical energy, solar power IS solar energy.
Not the same thing.

EV's are the future here and now. You just can't beat the value... everything else is stone age really...

tesla's are awsome, 2200 lb's of torque at 8 mph
celciuszero 2 years ago
@celciuszero 2200 lb's of torque is useless at 8 mph
midflder92 10 months ago
@midflder92 The point being that by the time it hits 8 mph, it's producing more torque than pretty much any other car will ever make
celciuszero 10 months ago
@celciuszero i checked several places and even tesla claims a max of only 295 lb ft from 0-5000 rpm

You will never have to worry about missing a gear in an EV

They don't have an transmission. (Or at least donät need one)

Too bad they had to be plugged in for 15 hours at the other end of the drag in order to make it home. =)

A Tesla Roadster could do about 50 runs on the 1/4 miles track with a full 0-100 mph. The refill time from empty is 3 hours.
