Electric Cars

The whole idea behind Electric is pure torque.. Automobiles are simply to small to pack them with sufficient storage to make them even remotely viable for cross country drives.. I don't know about you, but I'm hardly ready for a 10 hour nap after driving 300 miles

 

That low road clearance would get hung up on my ranch roads.

None of these vehicles have a road clearance equal to my
'98 4WD Ford Expedition. with the big V8 you can't get today

These people seem to "get it"
but aren't out there yet.

Very extended range and high road clearance.

Still, I prefer Hydrogen Fuel Cell to battery storage.

Never Forget!​

They're trying to get to California where personal vehicles are
not prohibited

 

Well that's why I would suggest a generator car a few of the electric car it's an electric car but it makes its own electricity so there's not a 10-hour down period where it needs to be recharged.

The problem with this is it aa a component, several actually. And these components do fail. I've done work on stationary generators of all sorts and replaced my share of rectifier and stators. These are the components that if they're bad on your hybrid it's probably a good idea to push it off a cliff.

Electric cars will have some of these components.

As far as torque goes, I don't recall ever seeing an electric dragster. Those typically run on alcohol.

 

Yes have no even figured in if is at dusk or night having to sit in that traffic with your lights on too.

 

You>>
If you can't get out of trouble with a 375 mile range, you deserve to die.

Over 1500 people in Louisiana died. Did they deserve to die?

 

Was it because they didn't have enough range in their cars?

 

Mine Fun

Not mine not fun

 

Lots of them had cars and didn't leave nor took other forms of evacuation, did they deserve to die? If your electric strands you on the side of the road and you get killed by the storm did you deserve to die for not having a 375 mile range vehicle?

 

Post a link to someone that didn't get out because they had an electric car.
Your just being silly.

 

I have no obligation to do so I'm asking about you thinking people deserving to die. So if you have an electric without that range and you get killed in a storm did you deserve to die?

 

Then I have no obligation to answer. But since you can't, I would say it never happened and probably never will.

 

YOU set the mileage requirement not me and an electric doesn't have that milage, if someone gets killed in a storm because they got stranded on the side of the road deserve getting killed? And the people who did not evacuate in New Orleans did they deserve to die? If you want to with what you said feel free I don't blame you.

 

Never happened. Period.

 

Let me clear this up very simply. No one deserves to die because of the car they drive, whether it has a ten mile range or a million mile range.

 

Actually, they do have them. It gives a different perspective to drag racing to be able to hear the tires letting go.

 

You can install an electric motor in about anything. That does not mean they are very practical. I worked for Eagle Picher Industries in the early 1980s. Another division was developing battery powered vehicles They had a battery powered racing boat. It was not all that fast, less than 50 mph, but it looked impressive.

 

Kinda cool

 

Internal combustion is cheaper.

 

Much. They removed the engines from VW Rabbits and installed batteries and electric motors. You could buy Rabbit engines from them fairly cheap.

 

I saw this video about an electric mustang, it's pretty cool.

 

And as far as performance goes they're much more efficient.

Video I posted in post number 395 shows a performance mustang. After one mile it's pretty much finished.

 

we need more research into battery technology not tesla.

 

this is the future

 

It's a long ways off. Also keep in mind that car isn't built for long travel it's built for speed.

I think one with a on-board generator is probably more likely to be the future if you do that you eliminate charge times, stresses in the power grid.

 

Absolutely agree with that. Possibly ways to charge a battery on board a car without having to plug it in. I think the electric car has a future that is it.
