  • Indeed. We drove to Nashville this past weekend and I filled up the Escalade at a gas station. First time I had been to one in SEVEN MONTHS. I must say, I neither enjoyed the experience, nor miss it at all. I'm so deep in this that I forget most people dont have EV's. Poor bastards....

  • Then don't be cynical. You don't know what you're talking about. I've driven the car every day for two years, and I can drive any car I like. The current battery technology not only make the EV a practical alternative to the internal combustion engine at the present time, but it makes it a SUPERIOR alternative to the internal combustion engine IN ALL WAYS.

    That you don't realize this is central to our mission. You don't know because you haven't experienced it.

  • I've always loved those small convertibles. And the electric version would be my dream car. So cool.

  • @LiiMuRi So build one. That's what this is about. You can do it.

  • so this is like a kit car then? how much does it cost to get something like that?

  • The basic roller is mid thirties with no engine. We're working with Special Editions Inc to do a turnkey electric completed in the high fifties.

  • Thank you very much for this video... I'm inspired!

    If I recall correctly, GM would only lease their EV1s, not sell them. GM released EV1s to comply with California's environmental regulations. GM and other car companies then successfully lobbied to have the laws repealed, eliminating the need for offering EV1s.

  • Internal combustion is so much more practical, especially when we have magically refilling service stations.

  • How much for the batteries and from where?

  • Not to be cynical, but current battery technology just doesn't make the EV a practical alternative to the internal combustion engine at the present time.

    Still, electric or not, I wouldn't mind having that 356 in my garage.

  • Go electric! Congrats, guys! Let's abandon the internal combustion. Let's go back to Tesla 1903!
