electric sports car. one that I can aford?

gravyandic

Im VERY interested in an electric sports car. Gas prices are SKYROCKETING and in 3 years its going to be about 7.00$ a gallon. I would like some help finding an AFORDABLE sports car that runs on ONLY electric. I know theres a lot out there, and the most popular one is the tesla roadster, but it runs for around 100k im willing to spend around a max of 60k so if anyone could help me that would be grate. i also dont mind used.

Answer
At the moment the only one available to individuals is the Tesla Roadster, but this will change in approximately 1 year.

Available in California in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost about $27,000 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy, and a range of over 600 miles total when in electric/gas hybrid mode, for around $30,000. On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon. The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency.

Available in late 2008 or early 2009, the ZAP Alias will cost $30,000, have a top speed of 100 mph, and a range of 100 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter the ZAP-X will be available at a cost of $60,000 with a top speed of 155 mph and a range of 350 miles per charge. This probably fits your criteria the best, as it's the fastest and has the best range for your maximum price.

Available in late 2008 or early 2009, the Miles Javlon will cost $30,000 with a top speed of 80 mph and a range of 120 miles per charge.

Phoenix Motorcars will start selling their SUT to individuals in late 2008 or early 2009. It will cost $45,000 and have a top speed of 100 mph with a range of 100+ miles per charge.

what is the red sports car in the movie In The Electric Mist?

curious

Answer
Check IMCDb (The Internet Movie Cars Database) at: http://www.imcdb.org/movies.php?title=In+the+Electric+Mist
EDIT: Surprisingly, it not listed at that web site so....I rented the movie at BlockBuster and took a look for myself. It's a red Lamborghini convertible, I think. The wing doors are a feature only on a Lamborghini, right? I paused the movie on the car and have been searching for a photo match on the web but have yet to find one. I thought I came close when I came across a 2007 Murcielago Roaster but it's not an exact match. My husband thinks that the car in the movie may have been modified.

What is the name and site of the 100% electric car being assembled at Lotus?

John S. R

I have lost the site on a reformat. This auto (sports car) forecast for delivery 2007, 250 miles on charge, estimated running cost 1c per mile, first on CA market. Same type of batteries as cell etc. They have a site here but it appears to be WELL hidden - I wonder WHY? - and by WHOM? The above information by memory from site.

Answer
--------
Ah, you are thinking about Tesla Motors, an American electric car company, in an alliance with Lotus.

The Tesla Roadster electric sportscar does 0-60 in 4 seconds. It can hit 130mph. It gets 250 miles to the charge. And it can recharge in 3-1/2 hours. The secret is the AC drivetrain technology perfected for GM's killed EV1 electric car. And Lithium-Ion battery technology.
*
Even better battery technology is in the research pipeline.
*
The Tesla is not the only electric sportscar either.
check out the T-Zero:

Who is excited about the Tesla Roadster?

Q. All electric sports car. 137mph. 0-60 in 4 secs. 250 miles on a full charge that takes 3 hours. That is soooo much better than going to the pump so often. I can't wait for the next ones they make under $50k.

Answer
------------
People may not realize it quite yet, but this is the beginning of a revolution in transportation. It has been in our local newspapers here in Detroit, that Tesla is coming here to hire engineering talent for their upcoming electric family sedan.
*
The Tesla is not alone, either. Look at this car:
*
http://phoenixmotorcars.com/models/fleet.html
*
The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altairnano batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:

-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)
*
Plus, I have been following, over the past year, news of at least two other emerging battery technologies that are as good or better than the Altairnanos above.
*
Incidentally, in response to one of the other posters, new Li-Ion battery designs are not hazardous - the Altairnano design has been tested by crushing and puncturing, with no fire or explosion resulting (which makes it safer than gasoline.)
*
Likewise, other negative speculations you may see about EV batteries are usually based on the assumption that battery technology has not evolved in the past 30 years.
*
Technology does not stand still.
