Who would drive an Electric Vehicle

[brick4956]

I would drive an electric vehicle if i had the funds to afford one as new technology is being released that would make driving one practical take for example a company in south korea has created a li-on battery that could cut recharge time to achieve a recharge time of 7-10 minutes the battery life is a expected to be 5% less than current ev batteries this technology needs to be heavily invested in the united states so we can cut down on pollution and start investing in our own country if we were able to cut down on oil and start going electric we wouldn't need that damn oil pipeline as we could start getting away from that old technology.

electric vehicles should be the way of the future as a company in south korea has created a li-on battery that could cut recharge time to achieve a recharge time of 7-10 minutes the battery life is a expected to be 5% less than current ev batteries this technology needs to be heavily invested in the united states so we can cut down on pollution and start investing in our own country if we were able to cut down on oil and start going electric here is a link to the description of some of the results of this awesome technology

I would. But not in the present state of the market. It would have to be cheaper, more mainstream/performance oriented and not look like a Delorian-esk, "what was I thinking"-mobile when looking back in 20 years.

Give it time. No Total Recall cars in showrooms, as of yet.

You hear me, scientists?

Funny you ask. My uncle told me yesterday that they are buying a Tesla Model S Electric Car

Looks good but only can go 300 miles at full charge. Dumb investment IMO.

 

[peoriairish]

Only if it can perform as well as my F-150. So, no.

And what Sactown says, cut the futuristic crap. This isn't iRobot.

new battery has a 7-10 minute charging time so it would be the same as waiting to fill up a gas station

I agree with Philly, it's too soon to enter the market. But that thing is certainly pointing in the right direction.

Now give me an Austin Martin DB8 that charges to full in under half an hour, can go 500 miles and still pulls a 13 flat in the quarter. Oh, and not cost seven figures. Like mid-fivish. I could party. Show the girls how "green" I am. With a leather interior, okay, so sans the vegan chicks.

Im pretty sure you also have to consider where your getting your electricity, Oil for Coal fired electricity is not an investment in the futur, also if yall wanna support EV's without buying them, just buying the stocks of companes that make them, every little bit helps.

im the type of person that loves technology as im a computer engineering student

Of course, provided it can go 500mpt, 100mph, and recharging in <15min.

A few things worth noting:

1) There's a difference between being able to do something technologically and doing something economically.

2) Even if every car on the road was an electric car and we didn't use a drop of gasoline, we'd still have major issues. For starters, there simply won't be enough space on the roads to support everyone having a car if you take into account population growth. What do we do when the population doubles to 600mil, have 15-lane highways? We have to invest in sustainable transportation systems and land use models.

3) We'd still need oil for a myriad of other products.

Well see what you think when 3-armed mutant warroir fish emerge from the Japanese wreckage

 

[peoriairish]

Sure it looks cool and is fun technology, but it needs to pony up >300 horses and be able to tow >12000 lbs. Until it can do that, I have little use for it.

One also has to consider the costs of recharging. If charging at your house, this will increase your monthly utilities bill. Once the electric companies see that you are relying on them for your transportation needs, the cost of electricity will go up. It's all a cycle.

Mine's on back order. First I gotta knock new hip glasses, hair gel, beard trimmer, Bon Iver album, craft beers, adult kickball, fusion cuisine, and adopting a dog off my list.

But once I get those things taken care of, a new electric car is next.

Smash the atom, instead. Fusion power will so many of the world's problems.

It blows my mind to think about where we will be in 2100.

We will have a fusion power plant on every continent, and have practically free electricity. We will have batteries that last 100x what they last now. You will charge your cell phone three times a year! haha

We'll have robotics mastered to the point where we won't need manufacturers. We won't need to work. It'll be 99% leisure.

Medically, we will have crushed cancer. Maybe not with medicine, but with nanotechnology. We'll have nanotechnology down so well that we'll be able to revitalize individual cells--and reverse aging in the process.

Science is incredible. Let's hope we don't blow ourselves up before utopia is possible.

i kno the technology is quite new as companies are starting to produce ev stuff again but i would probably wait a few years until the tech was sound and the price was reasonable

Unfortunately, we'll be dead.

...you don't have those?

I may be in the minority, but I like buttons, especially in the car where I can go by muscle memory to click them. The built in Internet if ****in awesome though. I wonder if your allowed to use it while driving or if it's blocked.

At this rate well be able to reach then with a mid age body, Cell age reversal technology could be coming within the next few decades, which is amazing, but also terrifying, what happens if everyone stops dying?(or lives wayyyy longer)

Driver: "I was trying to be safe by using the navigation thingy."

Insurance claims adjuster: "Uh huh."

Driver: "And when I gave it the voice command and the map went all psycho on me and I pressed the back button."

Adjuster: "Yeah."

Driver: "And that's when I noticed the other car and I tried to swerve, but then woke up in all this foam stuff."

Adjuster: "It's okay ma'am, we're used to this. Been happening for years since BMW came out with that stupid iDrive."

Driver: "I'm sorry I don't know what that.."

Adjuster: "Don't worry about, it's distracting like your panel thing."

Driver: "Oh, and um, what was all that foam stuff."

Adjuster: "It saved your life. Haven't you even seen Demolition Man? You bought a future car. Sigh. It's expensive as shi-- really expensive, let me check your deductible. Please hold."

i hope im around when the billionaire in australia creates dinosaurs that would be badass as i grew up loving jurassic park hopefully the team that created dolly the lamb can do the same with the recreation of a dinosaur

How high are you right now? Like I'm being completely serious.

 

[brick4956]

im not high just really bored

But in all seriousness, I could see Jurassic Park being the first place to have all electric vehicles.

 

[brick4956]

and the dinosaur thing is actually a true story about an insane aussie billionaire

I get to tell three Demolition Man jokes a year... tear. #wasted.

Now I hope the amphibian DNA you use to bridge the gaps in the sequence allow the females to become males and then SELF BREED. YOU'LL BE ****ED!
