Default Re: To EV or not to EV that is the question

Oh.... I looked at the link for the Venturi. You didn't say up front you were talking about TOY cars.
( The AA batteries should have been a clue. )
For real cars, this is not a viable option.

By toy car, I mean $500,000 to get one ( but hey, you get an integrated iPod with it, so I say go for it... ) and it holds 2 people max, no cargo, and will kill you in a 30 MPH crash...

TOY CAR for the rich and famous... not a "real" car.

245 Horsepower only because it weighs less than a Harley!#&*^&%%$@!

The battery pack in the Venturi is made up of 7,200 ~AA sized 18650 cells, connected as 72 series, 100 parallel.

It contains 58 kWh, can dish out 245 horsepower and does not seem to catch fire.
