Return of the Electric Car

Peak Moment 52: Otmar Ebenhoech has worked with electric vehicles for decades, watching as popular commercial EVs were developed, then recalled when their legal mandate was overturned. He sees improved battery technologies as the catalyst to enable widespread acceptance of EV's. Peek under the hood and watch a test drive of his hot electric Porsche race car conversion (0-60 in less than 5 seconds!).[www.cafeelectric.com]

Compaired to fossil fuels, Nuclear is an extremely clean source.

[peakmoment]

Clean? Piles of highly-radioactive waste that should be monitored for millions of years, waste that increases cancer levels -- clean? There are more factors than just carbon that need to be considered with nuclear.

[a68rebel]

Nuclear energy costs almost NOTHING and is extremely CLEAN.......please promote this option.

[peakmoment]

Nuclear energy It is neither clean nor cheap. It has a large carbon cost -- in the mining, processing and transport of uranium & other materials, and in the building structures also. We have not solved radioactive waste disposal. Financial costs to build, operate, and decommission are also very large.

[hotFusionReaction]

Don't you people ever get tired of repeating the same old FLAWED analogy of comparing every proposed Nuclear Power station to Chernobyl.

You know as well as I do that the Soviet system caused that disaster, NOT THE CONCEPT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY.

his 914 is a riot! it's set up for drag racing and it's pretty damn fast at that ...

@a68rebel This comment is from 2 years ago. How do you like Nuclear power now?

[ElectricRoadster]

at 9:00, i think Otmar is talking about the Tesla Roadster!!

[DanFrederiksen]

anoyone know how old Otmar is?

[ez3usx2]

i prefer to burn rubber than oil too.nice conversion keep up the good work.electric cars can be so much more powerful than gas.people who dont think so need to go see the videos of the guy with the old datsun blowing everything away in the 1/4 mile.its so funny to see that.keep up the good work!!!

have you seen the 59 lincoln neil young is converting to electric?instead of plugging it in to recharge you plug it in to power your house.check it out@lincvolt.

death to the dirty oil thugs!!!

[MickWiser]

For the same reason YOU don't do it.

[benjaminbeauregard]

why dont we take all of the tech that exist and create something unprecedented!

[anthonycut]

The 2000 Ford Ranger EV NiMH. Ford built, Toyota batteries, Chevron owns the patent. The vehicle Ford wants you to forget about.

[ZombieDesertDeities]

By the way Janaia electric cars have been around since steam cars in the early 1800's. The first car was around the time of the civil war!

[ZombieDesertDeities]

Ok I'll let you in on a well known flaw in any Nuclear Energy station! We have yet to find out what to go with the toxic waist that is left from making nuclear energy and wepons. This mean that for not just 100's but 1000's of years to come the nuclear waist that is stored will have to be looked after by trained people or it will contaminate the entire world and make it uninhaditable for life. Nuclear only makes since for people who want to make money off it.
