Worlds fastest street legal ELECTRIC CAR 1972 Datsun 1200 Whtie Zombie.

Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $1.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.

@@@EVs use between 1/6th and 1/10th the energy of a comparable ICE powered car.

This car is based in Oregon... there are something like 18 hydro electric power plants in that state! Hydro actually generates 58% in Oregon (In Washington it's over 70%) and coal less than 7%.

Datsun 1200 EV Specs:
- Motor - Hi Torque Electric 'Siamese 8' Series Wound DC Dual Armature 8 inch
- Controller - Zilla Z2K EHV 2000 Amp
- Battery - 60x 16 Ah Hawker Enersys 'Genesis' Lead-Acid 360 Volts
- Final Drive ratio - 4.11 : 1
- Weight - 2,450 Pounds (1,113 Kilograms)

Let's figure out where the electricity to run this car comes from? Coal? Nuclear power? ???

[tsport100]

@TheNorselord Do us all a favour and READ the description 1st!

Oregon is 58% Hydroelectric, Coal is less than 7%. Added to that, EVs use 1/10th as much power as ICE vehicles.

[tsport100]

Your information is completely wrong! LOL

Lithium is a durable not a consumable and it can be recycled. The average EV uses approx 75kg of Lithium and it last 10 years, while over the same 10yr period the average ICE car consumes 6000 gallon or 18 tons of Gasoline burnt at approx 15% energy efficiency.

[MichalHalczuk]

@tsport100 Accually, EV's use about 0,15 kg of lithium per 1 kWh.

That means average electric car uses about 3-5 kg of lithium.

75 kg of Li would give you around 500 kWh batteries.

Btw Altairnano are going to produce batteries wich will last for 25000 cycles (~65 years battery life if recharged once per day).

[tsport100]

@MichalHalczuk What's your info source? I have read numbers for Lithium Carbonate consumption ranging from 0.6 kg to 3kg per 1 kw/h

[tsport100]

80% is insane! Try "Energy in the United States" on Wikipedia, that says 49.1% or eia . gov "Electric Power Monthly" for August says Year-to-date is 43.1%. Pretty easy to find, these are 2 of the top 3 results on Google.

[tsport100]

@ColdNapalm42 Good to see you've done ZERO research on teh subject yet profess to know it all!

Hydro actually generates 58% in Oregon (In Washington it's over 70%) and coal less than 7%. Across the US Coal is less than 45% and Oil less than 1%! Good effort mate!

[tsport100]

@17hmr243 The EV still costs 1/10th as much but your Falcon doesn't do 0-100km/h in 3 seconds like the EV. Any ICE car that can has around 500hp and costs approx $20 per 100km to run.

Zombie Power! 11.5 sec 1/4 mile hahaha As an automotive technology instructor, gear head, and techie this makes me grin big time! Plus the guy lives right here in Oregon :)

[TheNorselord]

@cbemerine that is in the future -- what is the car running on NOW? Although i agree with you and support the concept of 'every home a power plant.' There are some clear obstacles: urbanites, renters, home aesthetics, and persons living in areas where the climate/weather won't permit the first two options. The best options for low environmental impact travel is electric rail mass transit, walking, or bicycling.

[cbemerine]

@TheNorselord Tired old argument. Every home a power plant with

3-D Solar +

Wind (Vertical or barrel ~ 20+ yr life, paid for in less than 10 yrs) +

Hydrogen (larger up front cost, but once you have it, pennies to free to run ) watch?v=r0habREaSyQ

3 non-coal, non-oil 'burning', non nuclear power sources, triple redundancy before grid.

What impresses me is that the re-charging only took approx 20 minutes. get 300 - 500 miles per charge at 55 - 80 mph and your talking.

[skullin67]

whats the phone number to call for those motors

[theduke502]

@tsport100 I would love to build something like this amigo. Where are some good resources for building my own?

[CanijAsa]

Now its not fastest Electric car in the world..even in Acceleration..!!

@TheNorselord MAGANETS

@krusher1974 Yes, but, a 2007 does not hold enough of a charge to make many miles free. Did you hear that a bunch of men in California and wherever, are doubling up on the batteries and getting 100mph. Why can't I get enough of a charge out of some battery system in our Prius so that I do not have to buy an electric unit. I drove and liked the Chevy Volt. Solid. Quiet. Then I drove another one that ran out of battery power. It was noisier. But it hadpower. I drove the Leaf. It was nice too. But.

[krusher1974]

@ThinkPureTruth if you use you prius on the electric only your going to get a million miles to the gallon
