Having actually ridden in one, I can tell you that the break even point for most people on this NG would be the first time you floored it and got slammed back in the seat. 0 - 60 in 4 seconds, no s**t. 100% torque at 0 RPM is an E-ticket ride.

That's not a long way from the EV-1 prototype. 0-60 was a bit more than 4 seconds, but not much. There was some current limiting going on to keep from frying the tires. For 1987 technology (I had the year wrong in my earlier post)it was a pretty darned impressive ride.

I really think that this should be the future along with a burst of interim nuclear power construction. It is time for a total change of technology regarding energy production and usage.

I sure hope that they prove out their product because Detroit sure ain't up to the task...
