6 Major Pre-Production Electric Vehicles Compared
rbgrn writes with a review of six major pre-production electric vehicles. The review offers an easy side-by-side comparison of these six cars with projected release dates of either 2008 or 2010. "With all of the hype surrounding hybrid vehicles today, I thought I'd do some research and post my findings on the next generation of fully electric and plug-in hybrids. The fully-electric EV has had a bad name in the past, mostly due to insufficient battery technology, politics, lack of performance models and other factors. Starting this year with the Tesla Roadster, the EV is going to take on a new form in the eyes of John Q Public. Quiet, efficient EVs will start to become commonplace in the next few years as major manufacturers go into production with the newest generation of vehicle sporting more powerful motors, efficient generators and the latest battery technology."
I know this is offtopic, but I was shocked to see that this page is already in google's index.
The government can't save you.
Shouldn't there be an iCar just around the corner?
At least the hype should be just around the corner if nothing else.
I suppose considering the battery life issues that surround the iPhone, maybe this wouldn't be such a good idea after all.
At least the thing would look sleek and have good commercials, even if it didn't perform very well and cost 5X more than anything comparable.
I sold my Mercedes ('05 SLK 55 AMG) to put money down on a Tesla Roadster. Best decision I've ever made (IMHO).
I wish - my 98 E class would hardly make the down payment!
init 11 - for when you need that edge.
