Read This! Electric cars: would you drive one?

so i was just watching a snippet on the Zenn cars (www.zenncars.com) which are produced in toronto but sold (for now) only in the states cos theres no provincial legislations for Low speed vehicles yet here..

these things go up to 40 Kmh and last 60 kms only without charging.

I guess the real question is...would you invest in a car like this??


I know I would considering its perfect for downtown driving and is cheap as hell.

Unless they stop making them so FUGLY, no.

I don't really have anything against electric cars (except for the styling as I mentioned above), but until someone figures out how to attach a turbocharger to an electric motor, I don't see myself owning one.

Who Killed the Electric Car? is a great documentary which chronicles GM's 'EV1', i.e., a fully-functioning electric car produced in the mid to late 1990s which, b/c it was such a success, was purposely destroyed by GM by the early 2000s.

The best fuel cell patents were purchased by big oil companies in collaboration with international governments to delay the release of functional electric cars.

/conspiracy theory.

Electric cars are worse for the environment than gasoline burning cars.

The former CEO of Packard Bell (original creators of the fuel cell) stated that with our current technologies, materials and processes we will not be able to make truly efficient electric cars. There has to be a significant break through, which just has not happened yet.

Go get a little box, with an inline 4, which only produces max 150bhp, and you are ahead of the game.

I would rather drive the air car, because it uses some exotic materials, but all materials we have been making for a long time, and easy to produce. The hardest thing would be to bake the tanks, which are made out of carbon fibre.

But they will not be sold in Canada because they are too slow, and are not safe enough to meet our crash test standards.
