    That's the same technology that electric-drive mining trucks have been using for years... I was wondering when it would cross over to cars.

    mass produced, with further developements and wider usage of this technology the price will drop a considerable amount.

    not available yet..

    the range is the break through, 985 miles on a single charge..

    go the next step and put an integrated solar panel and the recharge and range will further increase..

    what exactly are you bragging about? most sport bikes do 0 to 60 in 3 seconds or less, and get better fuel economy. it's easier for me to get on a bike than crawl into a mini.

    $4 for a gallon of Pertol, gees you guys got it so tough!!!!!

    All jokes aside tho yeah i think its a cool idea.
    I put 20 liters of veg oil in my car tonight, was not impressed wen i saw that cooking oil had gone up to 70p per litre.
    managed to find some rapeseed for 56p per litre so i stuck that in it.

    Made me smile though driving back to my gaff, 104.9p per litre of diesel, that made me think that something has to drastically change in this country. its not far away now that people wont be able to afford to fuel cars.

    it might be awsome on gas but sounds like you would get raped when the thing breaks down..an electric motor for each wheel

    actually the history of electric motors if very high, expected life on the batteries is 250k miles..

    so in the end.. even if it cost $60k if it lasts 8 years it would pay for itself in 5
