@pheenix42 fuel cells are just another way for the gas companys to leech money from you. Battery powered electric cars = independance.

The design is Ugly! Top speed is only 90 mpr! The problem with All electric Green Cars is the price! They start at 27k to 31k. My Corolla cost 6k. Now if Gas cost $4-gal, in one year (at 12,000-miles per year) that would be $1,464. So it would take over 14 years i.e; 14 x $1,464 = $20,496,

(Plus the 6k I paid for my corolla). For a total of = $26,496. So an Electric car will TAKE 14 + Years (minis the cost of charging it) to match a Gas car like Corolla. KEEP YOUR GAS Guzzling COROLLA!

People underestimate the incredible power of modern electrical engines!

This is pretty much a very advanced go-kart.

I'd love to get one of these, except idk how efficient it is in terms of longevity. I hope I don't need to shed out 10k every 5 years or so to replace the li-ion batteries x.x

My Leaf will be black. Finally! Thank you, Nissan!

And so it begins, friends...something like this is a step in the right direction! Now, if they could only power it with a liquid-fueled fuel cell of some sort (we already have infrastructure in place to distribute liquid fuels), then they'll REALLY get going! =)
