Gold Member BOHICA Posted September 19, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 Only 1 production car has lapped the ring faster the the Electric NIO EP9.... not a single American manufacture can build a faster car with ICE. ICE vehicles have reached there peak and aren’t all that impressive when compared to electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid state battery tech is promising for quick charge times. Tesla’s aren’t too bad. 30 minutes to get to 80% at a super charger station. Getting to 100% takes quite longer, but it’s not recommended to 100%. So drive 5 hours, take a 30 minute break, drive for 4. That's not terrible road tripping. Raped Asshole won't jump on board until you can drive 50 hours, charge 3 minutest and drive for 40. Luddites like him were still riding horses in the 60's calling the automobile a fad.

At that point he will realize how inferior the small block Chevy really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago everyone here thought Musk was the devil and all EV's were just Prius's in disguise. I think a cheap way to get into trucks would be to make a typical two wheel drive ice truck that can pull 10,000lbs. Then instead of 4x4 put electric motors on the front and a battery in the box. 60 mile range is good for most commutes. have the awd kick in when the rear tires slip. I bet most trust spend their days commuting less than 60 miles. That would be a huge fuel savings and you'd still be able to pull a trailer.

Musk would have something if he would put a small ICE generator in his cars. Pure electric would and will always suck for the long journey. Majority though don’t do all that long of a journey. a 1/2 ton size FWD based pickup with an small 300 hp turbo 4 cylinder.... 18 gallon gas tank. where the center counsel, transmission and rear drive shaft would normally be with a 25-30 kw battery pack would reside with a 100 hp motor out back. At .7 to .8 kwh a mile consumption you would have between 30-40 miles of pure ev range. Would take 4-5 hours to fill the battery pack at home with a 240 volt 30 amp plug. Wouldn’t be limited on range at all and would be way more powerful and better performing then any current 1/2 ton truck Edited September 20, 2019 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work great and would probably have me spending 70% of my time on electric without giving up performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty darn good for a 400 hp sub 5 second 0-60 mph suv. If it had another 10-15 miles of range it would prolly be sitting at triple digit fuel economy numbers. A 1/2 pickup with with 30-40 mile range I would prolly be on electric 90%+ of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for a truck. Hoping my roof lasts until Tesla's roof shingles or a reasonable alternative are more viable. Makes no sense to get rid of perfectly good shingles. We were discussing Bullfrog power recently and might go that route as well. Now how about you go eat a bag a dicks in shithole Woodbridge.

It will accelerate sufficient enough and run up to 85 mph on pure electric. Most stoplight driving it accelerate on electric just as fast as other traffic does. If it needs to accelerate faster the ICE kicks on when needed and then shuts off. Edited September 20, 2019 by BOHICA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
