f**k yeah performance electric cars.. that looks fantastic. I want one!

The only thing is I would like one with gears - just for the nostalgia value :D

edit: just noticed the front wheels are 5.5" with 175s and rear is 7.5" with 225.. Weirded out

i wouldn't buy 1 untill they have a longer battery life. 400kms isn't that good. for me that wouldn't get me to brisbane and back. so if i had to go to a meeting in brissy for work, i would have to park it at a friends place to charge it while i went to the meeting so it had enough charge to get me home. petrol will always win in that sense since it takes a few mins to get another 500-800kms out of the car.

second rate.

last month an electric car was slashdotted that had real potential.

its premise - leverage laptop batteries for "free" R&D. was pretty good.

except for the fact that it seems not a month goes by and there is another battery recall...

I saw a car like this being tested on fifth gear. Acceleration looked impressive, as it should seeing as it's peak torque is at 0rpm!

Crazy stuff.

yeah i remember that too, Tiff test drove it in europe somewhere i think... he also said it was around $300,000, dunno what curencie that was ethier. it does look very nice and i would be very interested in one if i could afford one... or fit in one (only assuming i cant at this point)

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
