New Electric Cars Are Better

Just showing off some of the cool new electric cars and putting to rest some of the myths out there. When people think of electric cars, typically they think of older ugly slower models, lead-acid batterys, and BS propaganda they've read slamming the "electric cars"(as though they all carried the exact same attributes)
The battery technology has changed(and will change even more when nanowire battery becomes common), the speeds have changed, the climate versatility has changed, the prices are changing, the car companies are changing... everything is changing for the better. I expect to see a lot more support for EV's during and after 2010.

governments of course will raise taxes on electricity - so forget about the 0.01$

[SuperiorMind]

@motionapplied Well hopefully ppl wisen up to dependency on huge rich external companies whom manipulate the systems making slaves out of the laborers - by not allowing imposition of legislation which makes it impossible for ppl to create their own energy (or water, food, etc) independently -- thus retaining our ability to install modern solar collectors, (water collectors, atriums, etc) and live independently allowing us to retain spending money and revive the economy...

[motionapplied]

@SuperiorMind total independence will not work. total dependence is also wrong. therefore we must seek for a solution that lies in the middle. remember: the industrials and the people of the governments are more dependent of the workers than the other way around - especially when one worker doesn't mistrust the other one nor do they let themselves intrigue against each other in front of those governmentals and industrialiens.

[SuperiorMind]

@motionapplied Good points -- I'm thinking proper regulations to make the game fair - as well as the freedom to chose non-dependent solutions should reduce exploitation and allow workers to start spending money on more than just shelter, energy and what little food they can still afford. Like your point tho - we need balance so the infrastructure doesn't fall apart -- so I'm thinking any alterations must be gradual.

no thanks, I will keep my carbourated, big-block american V8.

and before you say anything about torque, I am getting about 575 lb/ft

[SuperiorMind]

@montey1017 That's pretty good but it doesn't beat a 959 lb/ft EV. I think the most torque I've seen overall in non-custom electric car is the Ultimate Aero EV which is 800 lb-ft - 0-100mph in 2.5 sec. The potential to make a very powerful custom electric car is excellent.

[SuperiorMind]

@toyota339 Well - thing is - I'm thinking we need to focus on encouraging and creating more sustainable infrastructures as demand for non-renewables increase and ability to provide quickly enuf decreases -- cuz we will face economic collapse otherwise.

[Blodslav]

@motionapplied Thats when you start making your own.

Till people just run around taking Electric from one another

[UnCubicle]

I just came...

Great video!

[gasdive]

@123gwf Yes. Even if charged from coal fired power, the pollution is a tiny fraction of petrol. It actually takes more electricity to run a petrol car than an electric car, just from the electricity used to pump the oil and refine it into petrol.

ok electric cars seem to be the wave of the future!! Now hook a heavy ass Fisher plow to one and clear the streets for like I don't now um 8 hours or so not to mention its heavy wet snow!!

[jmbrown8273]

THIS MUSIC IS AS GAY AS IT CAN GET!!!!!

[123gwf]

Does it help the environment if your electric car gets plugged into a coal-powered outlet?

[SmokzTrueno]

Does anyone know the car at 1:52?

[scaryGTM]

@SuperiorMind We face economic collapse anyway..... via unsustainable/insurmountable debt - this will happen way before it becomes necessary to worry about the infrastructure. In broken times, people have less 'belief' and vision - they hold on to what they know with both hands because anything else represents unnecessary risk. The broken economy is the greatest threat to the 'leap of faith' necessary for the electric car to be successful. Mad Max is a more likely vision of the future than Tron.
