RAzOR Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 You folks would definitely be the last to "conform".I have driven quite a few EV's and they accelerate well enough for me to never have to pay for a single gallon of dino-juice again.Or do a timing belt, or replace a $3K tranny, or a head if I didn't do the timing belt.The EV-1 actually ripped. It was very quick and super cool inside and out. I'd pickup my buds and they'd be like "Holy sh!t wher'd you get this thing!??!". Like the Model-A Ford, the cars have to start slow. Now check this one out:http://www.venturi.fr/us/fetish/specs/specs.php30-60 in 4.5 sec. Top speed is only 100 but hey, they're getting there. All you need right now is $500K ! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Where do all these batteries go when the cars die? Recycled, same place with all batteries now. Well, unless you are in redneck country, then they go down in the ravine with the old freezer and couch. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAzOR Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Where do all these batteries go when the cars die?I give them to the kids to play with. Like wood blocks but with broken toes and burned skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 what kind of range did the EV1 have? wasn't it like 100 miles? Something like that. Works for commuting, or it would for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAzOR Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 what kind of range did the EV1 have? wasn't it like 100 miles?It was 80 with the original lead acid, 100-150 with NiMH. 80% recharge in 15 minutes!In the flick, they interview the inventor of the NiMH battery- nice old guy. He said once he developed them, GM bought a controlling share in his company then a year later sold their share to Chevron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
