Kandrew279 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) an alternator on that would be absolutely pointless.. lets say the alternator generates 1000 watts, great, but it puts a 1500 watt load on the drive motor. and btw, they need to measure this in MPGGE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_gallon_gasoline_equivalent Can someone find out how big the battery is that uses? we could find out how much it would REALLY cost you. don't forget about those tax credits XD Edited June 22, 2010 by Kandrew279 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDIOADDICT02 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Well..still ugly. But from the looks of it in the video, I'd buy one of these before I'd buy a fucking prius. But.. are you saving the world? No, no you're not. What about those polar bear cubs that.. cry.. because you used $7 in gas? Never mind, it's okay. You wouldn't make a "difference" even if you did have a fucking prius...and the fucking polar bears would laugh at you it turns out that they weren't crying because of your gas usage, they were actually crying because daddy came home drunk with another polar bear and mommy and daddy got into a big fight. About the alternator or whatever, why couldn't they just hook up a generator to the wheels so that whenever the vehicle moves at all it's creating power? As been said.. you wouldn't have to use electric then, and that wouldn't go over very well. But whenever tons and tons of people get electric vehicles, more electric will obviously be used..where does that electric come from? Fossil fuels? Right.. isn't that the reason we "want" the electric vehicles? I don't know exactly what they burn to get electric (is it just coal? or all fossil fuels.. I dunno) but if nobody is using oil, they will start burning it.. to make electric. So here we have all these fucking retards driving around their ugly electric vehicles, and we are still using oil and such...and of course the price of electric will go up, you know that. To the guy that said you'll be able to charge the car like anywhere, parking lots, etc., uh..no. I sure as hell hope not. What, is there going to be some other kind of shit that I have to watch out for while pulling into a parking space?? Even if this were to happen, who is going to pay for this "upgrade" to the parking lots?

IH8PunkRok Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 exactly this^ electric cars are just band aids that make people feel good about themselves. they see no pollution so it must not exist. hydrogen is the way to go. and dont give me that shit about how its explosive either. gas is explosive too, people were scared back then but guess what... we got it pretty much under control.

sqsux Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm glad there are intelligent people out there that see the bigger picture in things, it makes me feel a whole lot better about the world. And I'm surprised no one has commented on how difficult it would be to install tunez in one of these, I expected that to be in one of the first posts. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along.

Through natural processes it is produced, and water can be hydrolyzed to get more H2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you recharge the batteries that control your subs though? They'd die like soooo fast.. and then you'd have to go plug that shit in for it to recharge so you'd get like 5 mins of beat out of it..if that. Also, I think that batteries that are for your electronics are sealed and shit.. you wouldn't even be able to get to them for juice in the first place.

Autruche Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Honestly the Tesla Roadster is the same thing, but it gets between 200-250 miles per charge, and if I recall it charges much more quickly than this car, but the price tag is rather high up there. The real downside, no sound system! but to be honest, if we could add an alternator to the rear wheels on separate miniature automatic transmissions then we could get some voltage back while only losing a few horsepower. I am not too sure on how well this would work though, it could either be very efficient of a huge inefficient failure. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?
