Re: sunoco fuel
Buy the Exige. MUCH faster,loads lighter,and less than 1/2 the price. E-leciric cars are a 100 year old waste of time.

Re: sunoco fuel
if your power station burns fossil fuels to make electricity then how much smaller is the carbon footprint ? 12 hour charge time , 220 volt . amps ? and 250 miles on a charge . then there are the batterys ! i think it was you had to replace them every 6 to 8 years or 100,000 miles . and there not all that cheap to replace then what to do with the old ones ?

Re: sunoco fuel
250 mile range..don't they wish! It's more like 50 miles of real time use. That's with MINIMAL accessory use,like..the heat..or A/C or...lights,wipers,radio,etc etc. Battery technology is the only thing holding up viable E-lectric cars from being dependable,economical transportation. Some day...someone may figure out an effective way to store electrical energy. Maybe some visiting extraterresrial....

Re: sunoco fuel
what got me thinking about getting one was i did some airbrushing on a triumph tr7 that the owner made into an electric car . it was cool ! had more tork than i thuoght it would . i was told that when every thing was on he could get about 125 miles on a charge .but he had no AC or heat in the car at that time . he was still working on the heating systom . when i drove the car it was so quiet . when you step on the gas peddle the car would have immediate excelleration .a big down side was draking . there was no motor braking when you got out of the gas and becouse there was no vacuum to the brake booster the stock braking sys sucked .
