electric cars actually have a faster acceleration speed than traditional gasoline ones. It's just that the top speed and range is really bad.

@MrTr0llol Actually, 5 years; if they are abused.

Battery life on Lithium Manganese cells is variable to the use and rates they are charged. Slow charging from 50% and not racing the car will see ten years to 80% DoD.

Like the Prius, people will soon be throwing in far superior cells that will outlast the life of the car. In fact, some people have thrown out the engine on the Prius because like all fuel cars, they are a financial liability and a dead weight.

@m1aws battery lifetime is 3-5 years....so you are forced to buy a new one.....

[m1aws]

@MrTr0llol This has a car range of over 100 miles. Acceleration to 60mph in about 9 seconds and fast enough to get you banned. While being cheaper to buy, own and run in its lifetime than just about any other car on the road. At the same time its a cracking good drive.

The best bit is you don't ever have to be hassled queuing to fill it up and messing around with cash in all sorts of crappy weather.
