The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just .00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at .00 per 100kms. @@@EVs use between 1/6th and 1/10th the energy of a comparable ICE powered car. This car is based in Oregon… there are something like 18 hydro electric power plants in that state! Hydro actually generates 58% in Oregon (In Washington it’s over 70%) and coal less than 7%.

Zombie Power! 11.5 sec 1/4 mile hahaha As an automotive technology instructor, gear head, and techie this makes me grin big time! Plus the guy lives right here in Oregon
@cbemerine that is in the future — what is the car running on NOW? Although i agree with you and support the concept of ‘every home a power plant.’ There are some clear obstacles: urbanites, renters, home aesthetics, and persons living in areas where the climate/weather won’t permit the first two options. The best options for low environmental impact travel is electric rail mass transit, walking, or bicycling.
@TheNorselord Tired old argument. Every home a power plant with
3-D Solar +
Wind (Vertical or barrel ~ 20+ yr life, paid for in less than 10 yrs) +
Hydrogen (larger up front cost, but once you have it, pennies to free to run ) watch?v=r0habREaSyQ
3 non-coal, non-oil ‘burning’, non nuclear power sources, triple redundancy before grid.
What impresses me is that the re-charging only took approx 20 minutes. get 300 – 500 miles per charge at 55 – 80 mph and your talking.
whats the phone number to call for those motors
@tsport100 I would love to build something like this amigo. Where are some good resources for building my own?
Now its not fastest Electric car in the world..even in Acceleration..!!
“In announcing billions in subsidies, President Obama hoped the US would be the first nation to drive a million electric cars by 2015. That figure appears detached from reality. JD Power and Associates estimates just 100,000 electric cars on the road by 2020. That is less than .01 of the 300 million cars registered in the U.S., and a drop in the ocean of oil consumed here annually.”

@TheNorselord MAGANETS
@krusher1974 Yes, but, a 2007 does not hold enough of a charge to make many miles free. Did you hear that a bunch of men in California and wherever, are doubling up on the batteries and getting 100mph. Why can’t I get enough of a charge out of some battery system in our Prius so that I do not have to buy an electric unit. I drove and liked the Chevy Volt. Solid. Quiet. Then I drove another one that ran out of battery power. It was noisier. But it hadpower. I drove the Leaf. It was nice too. But.
@ThinkPureTruth if you use you prius on the electric only your going to get a million miles to the gallon
@subawreck battery would be flat before the end of a stage,,
at race the guy wear a helmet by doesn’t fasten the seatbelt
@tsport100 — you are getting your electric panties in a bunch. There is NO description to read with the video I saw. If Oregon is 58% hydro, 7% coal, where is the remaining 35% of electrical coming from? Claiming that all electric rechargable vehicles emit no emissions is not the truth, the emissions are displaced from the tailpipe of the vehicle to another source.
Recharging for 20 minutes after each 1/4 mile? doesn’t seem too environmentally friendly.
@TheNorselord Do us all a favour and READ the description 1st!
Oregon is 58% Hydroelectric, Coal is less than 7%. Added to that, EVs use 1/10th as much power as ICE vehicles.
Let’s figure out where the electricity to run this car comes from? Coal? Nuclear power? ???
Hey why not twice as many batteries and make it awd, slightly more efficient motor(slightly less power), and rally it!!!! Lasts longer and better grip
Thanks very much ts. We are on our 2nd Prius. 48-50mpg. 75,000 miles. Toyota is saying that the battery is lasting beyond 100K. We have a 2007 now. I hear people are putting a different or double battery pack in them and getting over 100mpg. Can you confirm this? Also, I have a 1984 Dodge B-250 Van. I have that big 8′ bed in the back. Is there any way I can use it for batteries and a system? I have had this poor van for 19 years. It has a 318. Can I experiment with this? Thanks very much! Art
360p, I haven’t seen you in a fucking while.
I think its a great idea but gas cars have created some of the greatest sounds you could ever hear. When the Ferrari’s, zondas,austin martins, skylines,impreza’s and american muscle cars ( to name a few) are made sound like a hairdryer i will give up on motoersport.
Putting Portland on THE map!
5 mins to charge that’s unreal ?
did you know they had battery switching one hundred years ago?
The driver of that bike must have balls!
The Bullet train is an EV but it takes a full 3 mins to reach 270 km/h (168 mph).
The new record for this EV bike is 168 mph in 7.89 sec.
isn’t the bullet train considered an electric vehicle?! if so wouldn’t that hold the record?
there are different designs, like the cells of lithium plate, but they are pretty light compared to an engine
does any body know how much the system on this bike weight? it looks compact enough to fit even a superbike but how much would it wight? i think weight is the only down side i can think of in useing this technology on a motorcycle(one thats not a drag racer)
You get that information from where?
It uses A123 M1 batteries that are rated to 50C i.e you can pull 50x the current the battery is rated for. The discharge curve is basically flat until they get down to minimum voltage at which time the battery management system cuts power to avoid damaging the cells.
Electricity consumption is 0.6 kWh, worth $0.07 for each run so the 9kw/hr battery pack is enough for theoretically 15 runs for a total cost of $1.00.
I meant that as a competitive vehicle that it cant run 155MPH every time as the batteries have a “peak” that wears off.
It’s a 9kw/hr battery pack, that’s enough energy to drive a car over 100kms. Each run uses just a few cents of electricity and they can do multiple runs without recharging.
The performance goes down a lot after every run.
im a mechanic not an electrician. gonna be out of a job soon then.
to charge the a123 or altair batteries it takes 10-15mins.
how long does the charge of one of those batts last..?
