I've been following battery technology closely, the new lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries rock. Now this technology is making it's way into the auto industry. One of the battery packs for my F-22 Raptor is about the size of 8 AA batteries and will handle a 60 amp continuous discharge.
Now imagine 6,831 lithium-ion battery cells about the size of a AA battery.
There is a new sports car on the market folks! A little roadster that scoots to 60 in 4 seconds, tops out at over 130 mph and has a cruising range of 250 miles. All in 100% electric power. For most situations, especially the daily driver when you aren't driving long distances in one shot, this is the ideal car. No more stopping at gas stations, just plug her in and recharge. You would still have to have a second vehicle for driving extended distances as a 3 hr. recharge just isn't quite as fast as a regular fill up on fuel. I gotta get me one. Then...... let the mods begin.
