and I have a question, are you drunk? Thank god that lil kid was not behind you when you thought that duck trap was in forward gear lol
He didn’t say …
He didn’t say goodbye before leaving… Bad Grandpa!
He sounds like a …
He sounds like a very interesting person to talk to.
made my day
made my day
thats true
but …
thats true
but still if u run on the electric for so long and the gas i just sitting there any thing could go wrong.
something could may not work when u really need it.
lol, Its so true. =3
lol, Its so true. =3
Um Dude, you like …
Um Dude, you like left your “electricity” cap open.
forgot the baby!
forgot the baby!
theres also the …
theres also the magnetic engine that is also very good to the enviroment and saves money on gas
The best car horn …
The best car horn ever.LOL
I agree with this.
I agree with this.
And even if gas …
And even if gas runs out, the car should possess an array of supercharging solar panels which would get you out of tight spots fast, albeit at 8 to 12 mph on solar charge. And even if that doesn’t work, then there should be a rocket booster on the back and the car should convert into a mini airplane to help you take off. And even if the rocket fails….perhaps then you can think about installing some pedals inside.
If you are going …
If you are going somewhere far where there is no electric charge station, then the car should have a backup mechanism to run on gas…but gas should be the last resort. This old man does raise a good point.
I have three
Why …
I have three
Why are you still driving?
Were the can you go on just 40 miles?
And what if the place your going to donsent have a charging station?
oops you forgot to …
oops you forgot to close the gas cap on your car. er umm ahh electric cap…? nice car and vid tho Chap!
cheers
what about gas …
what about gas leaks in an accident.
Very good point, …
Very good point, sir.
All that the main …
All that the main motor companies have produced (with the exception for the purpose built electric GM S-10, and toyota EV RAV-4) are luxury electric vehicles. The tesla is a fun car, but not always a practical one. I would rather have a used, easy to work on converted electric car that I can use regularly. If it isn’t the range, it’s the cost… cost is the bottom line, not range. Detractors will always find a new bottom line. I will always have electricity, gas may be hard to come by.
No, we do not …
No, we do not always need a car that goes 400 miles, several people have demonstrated that. I do not drive 400 miles a day, and being in a family that could have both a gas and electric vehicle, an electric car would be excellent. The extra range of a gasoline vehicle is a luxury, and I WILL make an electric car before gasoline is $8.00+ a gallon, which would make shipping my battery packs extraordinarily expensive. BTW, for distance, why not rent a battery pack on a trailer to extend range?
It’s not like the …
It’s not like the environment thrives in the wreckages of gasoline cars either.
Because we need to …
Because we need to be able to go more than 40 miles in one trip. Bottom line is that, unfortunetely, right now, electric cars can’t go far enough. Develop an electric car that can go about 400 miles (the average distance a car can drive in one tank of gas) and then I can see driving an electric car.
Good luck with the solar paneling!
battery leaks? in …
battery leaks? in an accident sure that is good for the environment.
can u put some …
can u put some alternators on board and charge batteries while driving/ create electricity plant on board . is it possibe?
Dump charging is …
Dump charging is usually done with wet lead acid batteries. For instance, let;s say you have ten12 volt batteries (120volts) in your car. The dump charge batteries can be a collection of batteries which are no longer good for operating electric vehicles, but can still hold some charge. You would need a higher TOTAL voltage for the dump charging. In this example, you could start with thirteen 12 volt batteries. These need to be in series for a total of 156 volts.
So if you jump …
So if you jump straight to the battery pack in your car, it would start charging at somewhere between 100 and 200 amps. You should use 2 ought cables, + to + and - to - for the jump. The more batteries you use for your charging string, the quicker the charging process will be since you are dumping with greater voltage. Most lithium batteries have a C rating so you have to be careful not to exceed their limits under charging.
