Looks a bit "Rube Goldberg-ish" to me, but creative for sure.

There are several EV cars already on the market with the range that would be acceptable to me (speaking as one who lives in an area where long drive distances are the norm). Some of them even affordable. Charge times continue to come down. I predict that my next new car purchase will not be an EV, but the one after that will.
Oh, and EV cars sound WAY better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) |

Depends on what you mean by sounds better. Without the conventional powertrain noise, in the EV, the road noise and windnoise becomes much more noticeable. It does become a dissatisfaction to some buyers. Is there a solution? Sure, but, it adds more cost and more weight to already heavy EV's. Weight saps range. There is no free lunch but it is a fun engineering exercise. |
