Volvo Electric Car with In-Wheel Motors. 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 $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.

I would be very worried about the drive by wire. Any glitch or EMI interference can cause problem.

@kumachn 20,000 ton freight trains and 400 ton mine trucks don't have any problem with it!

I predict we won't see electric vehicles taking over until the private sector completely takes over the electric utility market and sets electricity prices higher than gasoline.

[tsport100]

The price of a kw/hr is approx the same now be it from a wall socket of a petrol pump.

The reason a petrol powered ICE costs 10x - 20x as much per mile to drive as an EV is they are about as energy efficient as an incandescent light bulb. You might be able to pack $100 worth of fuel in your cars tank, but $85 of it gets wasted as useless heat.

The more people learn this, the more they'll want EVs.

ev's are great for practical use because they're efficient in saving power. Using one as a utility vehicle, or a race car however is a joke. gas and deisel always beat electricity for torque and power .

You have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

Have a look at a few more EV videos on my chanel and tell me again EVs don't wipe the floor with 500 - 600 hp supercars. LOL

I think that oil companies will make sure this car never see the light of day.

2015???? should have used some of the bail out money for this instead of AIG

[supercooldud]

@tsport100 toyota did!

[VinnyMartello]

It's environmentally friendly enough to make the polar bars not maul people at the zoo.

[DerrickB82]

If it uses fuel of any kind I don't want it WHOS WITH ME!!!

[GoldenSim27]

Why is this called a Hybrid if it is all electric? hybrid is not a mix of propulsion systems? >>this is a electric car not a hybrid<<

@dailylifetube

Have you ever heard of the middle man in sales. Well even the middle man has overhead expense. Now how would you like to be a middle man in the fuel industry with no overhead!!! The US government has a massive stake in oil profits. Think about it! Do your research and you will see that the government has NO incentive for increased fuel economy. If we could get them off our backs you would see miracles happen overnight.

Try to sale this car in sweden :D

[adyloszonga]

Where is this car? This concept was released in 2007, we are in 2011 and still i can see any car using this recharge concept. People, we are f... with time in an economic crisis and oil prices and I hate petrol companies for selling us something they extract from the earth but i HATE car companies even more for having solutions and waiting the end of the world for it. When we will start doing OUR BEST? Not only the things that make money ?????

@kumachn All Passenger Planes are drive by wire and fighter jets to... idiot

[fatqwert200]

@kumachn you can say that with any car, any EMIs could shut off a car going on the freeway. so get it right
