Nissan "LEAF" 100% Electric Car

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No emissions at the tailpipe. I wonder what the power bill will look like..

This energy is still mostly coming from coal.. This solves nothing unless there is a solar charging option.

The true solution is solar, tidal, wind and similar replenishing energy sources. Once we get off the "grid" the world will actually be a better place.

There is truly no reason for us to be hooked up to some power company. Thats just pointless.. There are so many more efficient, clean, and renewable methods available today.

WHY AREN'T WE USING THEM? Who is in control here.. Not you or I.

"Why aren't we using them?" Because they aren't cost effective....yet!

How is burning (and paying for!) diesel fuel to charge an electric car with a generator efficient let alone cost effective???!!!! :screwy::screwy::screwy:

It increases the range of an electric vehicle (currently very limited), while still being more efficient than a normal combustion engine powered vehicle. An electric vehicle company called Aptera has been testing this on a prototype car which is supposed to be coming out sometime this year. It uses a small generator with a 5 gallon gas tank that charges the batteries that run the electric motor. The range of the vehicle is approximately 600-700 miles. 120+ miles per gallon is incredibly efficient and cost effective.
