C_T Posted August 7, 2011 11.5 sec quarter mile, not too bad. those other cars were really slow tho. but i love the idea of electric cars/bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WoodDragon Posted August 7, 2011 On two wheels: 7.86 sec for a 1/4 mile is pretty good... The start, at 0-60 mph in less than one second, is insane. I'd have nightmares riding one of these though - afterward I'd be dreaming about dentists' drills all night... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WoodDragon Posted August 7, 2011 And then there's the electric dragster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ukLgsGEzs&NR=1&feature=fvwp QM in 7.956 seconds; top speed 159.85 mph. It must be weird for the traditional petrol-heads to smell ozone instead of high-octane fuel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C_T Posted August 7, 2011 i had the brainstorm that, you swap out the battery's at the service station to refill, so they can upgrade/recycle the battery's everyones using, and you never have to buy new ones per-say, you pay a fee to exchange them each charge. that way costs will be down, batteries tech increases will be instantly available for older vehicles (better distances between charges) and correct recycling is performed. make the electric cars have a standard sized pack "bay" and simply swap them out like your gas propane bottles for the bbq.
