  • Everything there is will be: e e e e-lectric! Electro is the way of the future!

  • 3.5 hrs to charge- thats actually pretty quick considering how far you can go. I mean seriously: Except for salesman, who drives 250 miles every day???? and even if you have to drive 100 miles to work (???)- then you work 7-9 hrs, right? So your car can charge.... I mean its probaply not the car you take your family for a cross-country trip in. I'd buy it- Just dont have the cash though :)

  • lol the car is soooo tiny :D

  • Converted Evora

  • @muffinmanx99 The engine isn't doing much good when you've got the clutch down.

  • only problem with electrice vehicles is no stick shift... oh well the tesla roadster is badass

  • In the majority of these videos, the car gets the bulk of the credit, but it's the battery that's makes this breakthrough possible. Even now many variations of the Li-Ion battery are either being or are waiting to be tested. Since this car have been out, there have already been improvements made to Li-Ion batteries.

  • Must have a big bridge rectifier in it. I'd love to get my hands on one and take it apart. Looks like some kick butt technology. Hats of to the folks who got this together. I hope there isn't to many spade connectors as they change resistance when they get warm and when heated over time. All the money to troubleshoot this when they can't do what we have without charging mad money.

  • great car

  • noise does add to the excitment.

  • Noise is cool. It's a huge part of going to the races. without it, it's like watching a music video with the sound on mute.
