600hp? How far between battery charges? 4400# So probably 2000# of
battery. We do not say electric cars won't work, but they are not
financially practical. And is this going to require a $100,000 Government
tax credit?

C&D said they used 70% of the battery in 60 miles of driving but this
was aggressive driving. I suppose if you are not driving like that
you would not be spending a half million bucks for this car.

It is certainly a toy for billionaires, nothing that the 99.9% will
ever own. Battery cars are a toy for the top 5% anyway. Even the
government, that is subsidizing these cars, said recently that they
are not financially viable yet.
If they can get a 100 mile "plug in" that costs $20k or less, the 20%
people will be able to buy them.
Romney's 47% will still be driving 10 year old Toyotas, Hondas and
Chevys that run on gasoline for the foreseeable future


So, it's impracticable and over priced, that means "it doesn't work"...

Do you still eat your meat raw? Fire was once new technology.

Bad analogy as usual.
