wait.
what?

weren't we talking about electric cars?

um, ok so i assume they need a some oil, but it's not like running on gas or any other fossil fuel.

i was giving a source for electric energy, unless i'm mistake as to it's use.

i was being somewhat sarcastic, the "coal, americas clean energy source" or whatever deal was a sham and a bad one at that.

OH HAI, BC HYDRO?

How sad is it that nobody's yet to mention the Dynasty IT; the Canadian electric car?

[Leviathan]

The only issue with the Dynasty vehicle is that it is a low speed vehicle so it can't be driven on highways.

Fisker Karma

Top speed at 125mph. 0-60 in 6. Hybrid, yes, but very nice regardless.

NASCAR is going to be very different in 5 years.

^ check some posts above :)

The battery system for the Karma is being produced locally. F1 will be demonstrating some very mild mechanical hybrid systems this year.

Guh. Dunno why I missed that.

It's OK Dave, we all make major mistakes every once in a while. You'll just have to give me some time to forgive you. :)

if you cant slap a garrett turbo with 14 psi of boost on it for an instant 75 whp,then i dont want it.

[Leviathan]

yeah I'd still take a Tesla over your boosted car anyday. Elon Musk likes his better than the Mclaren F1 he had.
Here is a good video of him driving around in it.

electric cars will be the demise of motorsports.
