Now, imagine if our nation's electric grid was powered by solar, wind, and other renewables!

It would be Bye Bye Dubai!!!

I am seriously going to put down a deposit on this ASAP then i'll have a right to be irrate if i doesn't come to fruition!!

Que interesante e inteligente propuesta de autos, la verdad los mexicanos con nuestro sueño, deseamos uno como éste cada ciudadano, superando a cualquier nación, en nuestro viaje mental.

The front looks like the frog I had to take apart in high school biology.

@cavemanillustrations Too bad Dubai doesnt supply the planet with that much oil. All we need to do is let profit run R&D and wait. Already solar is up to 18.9% efficiency and $1/watt. In the meantime, DRILL DRILL DRILL. It wont hurt a goddamned thing and there is ZERO habitat disruption these days.

By the way, where do you think that electricity comes from? Magic? No, a fossil-fuel coal-burning plant.

@robertquentincobb Nice calculations there! I was curious about how advantageous an eletric car truly is. Although, I`m quite certain that the price of an All Eletric Green Car will drop, just a question of time...It is quite expensive now, because they are only starting to release them...

Also, there is a natural tendency that gas prices will continue soaring due to peak oil dynamics.

The design is ugly. 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!

@cavemanillustrations If our grid is powered by solar, wind there would a lot of down time. Would you like a black out when wind stopped blowing or storm or at night?

Did you know that Canada is the largest provider of oil to the USA? The LEAF is awesome.

For people complaining about the lack of electrcity it would create, i have heard of special advances in the Geothermal energy industry where drilling will be so easy that you can do it even in inactive volcanic regions like Australia as they go deeper more quickly and easily. also, electrcity equipment is much more effeient in consuming less electricity as well.

@SpecialAgentBob1234 Its called winding the window down.. you people gosh cant every one be like us Australians... Knowing you guys you will research a fukn Fusion reactor or somthing just so that you can have more comfort, which will most likely end up destroying earth lolz
