Somebody has probably posted on this already, but I didn't see it with a quick search for Brusa. So...

Ohh, that pretty.
Still waiting for an EV that will make a 120 mile drive at highway speeds at 20 degrees that will fully recharge overnight. It can't be THAT far away, and I will be there when it is!

Having built an EV in the past 12 months I can tell you it's further away that you might think.

I would put money that prototypes will be here in 5 years, and production within 10. Tech is just moving too fast. State of the art now for EV is going to be old school 3 years from now. Maybe I am hopeful, but I am keeping that faith...

Keep the faith brother. Seen some wild crap the propeller heads at work are doing. Big money going into EV and alt. energy stuff.

The Rudolph Spyder!

Looks like a VW or Subie powered kit car. My German is a little rusty ... ANDY!!

These really sound great, we just have to get one thing figured out - BATTERIES!

Once they're capable of holding enough energy, the gasoline engine will be as good as gone.

Unfortunately, in the midwest, it means that we'll be running our cars on coal, since that is still the most widely used method to generate electricity.

All these "Auto-Mobiles" are just a passing fad...
They'll NEVER replace the horse!

Odd, I'm not an EV fan, but I keep stumbling across this thing:
