200 miles on one $1.00 charge.....

says... In article , says... In article , says... Oh, no, it's that new technology again! http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/201...-a-motorcycle- its-a-carcycle/#7285-5 Amortize the cost of the vehicle into that cost to go 200 miles. The more fish you catch with your boat the cheaper the fish become. As with any new technology, there are improvements to be done. Do you still read by candle light? When kerosene lamps were up and coming, kerosene was expensive, and more dangerous than a candle. Electric cars have not advanced in 100 years. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/evtech.shtml |

Battery technology has advanced a lot, and the Volt is a much more comfortable, faster, safer and luxurious car than anything that existed 100 years ago. I'd buy one now if the price was more in line. Remind me to post a picture of my neighbors electric boat one of these days. It looks better and better every time the price of fuel goes up. |

I'd buy one now if the price was more in line. I am married to a battery expert. The battery materials have changed but the basic properties of a battery have not changed. We first started riding horses without saddles and then with saddles. The horse didn't change but, the ride was more comfortable. Remind me to post a picture of my neighbors electric boat one of these days. It looks better and better every time the price of fuel goes up. That would be interesting to see. |

Carbon based nanotube ultracapacitors, and on and on. http://www.technologyreview.com/news...ecent-battery- advances/ http://www.technologyreview.com/news...ies-charge-up/ I've heard it all before. I know all about charging and discharging cycles and issues. The materials may have improved but, the basic battery is still the same. You charge it, you discharge it, you charge it and the cycle keeps repeating until the battery wears out. |
