I want to buy an electric car.

[visious]

Kenya's sneaky bastardism made me fully support the idea of electricity replacing petrol as power for the car engine. In the long run , this will destroy the oil industry I believe and will kill countries like Saudi Arabia for good.

There will also be no more wars for oil since it will lose its number 1 market and will only be used for asphalt and plastic mainly,

P/s: just look at these cars.



2011 Nissan Leaf. For $21K



Nice 2012 chevy volt for $33K



Classy but pricy Telsa Model S for $69K


Electric cars are great technology wow . You can recharge full for only $2. This lasts upto 100-250 miles imagine 250 miles for 2 dollars only. Normal cars would be like $3 for only 1 gallon.

Soon this nice cars will replace the gasoline engined cars and we will say good bye to oil

down with oil and its evils. Yaa wax kufalayo shidal now. Infinite/Renewable energy FTW!

Don't you think they invented the electric car so they won't use muslim oil :O

One of the big selling points of electric cars is supposedly low running costss, and that needs to compensate sufficiently for the disadvantages over a conventional car (need to recharge; upfront expense of the vehicle; maintenance risks of owning something non-mainstream etc.)

I just think electric cars are just not there yet. That business of having to lease the battery sucks big time, one wonders how they expect anyone to bother. But if you run your current car for, say, another five years, it's quite possible that electric or whatever eco-friendly technology wins out will be much more practical and affordable by then. There's a high price for taking up immature technologies, and it's not one you want to be paying just so you can drive 16km a day.


What about hybrids

[visious]

combustion and electrical combined.

i can take that while better technology is being developed.

you are right the cars aren't quite ready yet. though Tesla is doing really well and adding mileage with every new model that comes out.

Ill just grab a Prius until it develops fully.

Go to Copenhagen, most electric car friendly city I've ever seen.

the world is ending soon, who cares about electric cars. oil all the way

i remember taking an electric taxi cab about a few months back. I think the driver explained that the battery in the car needs to be replaced once every 7 years. Cost = $1200.00

Sounds awesome
