Pure electiric is NOT the way to go. The power to charge them still comes mostly from coal.

It’s about time Cinnamon/Akeena gets off it’s ass and did some advertising… AKNS stock is in the toilet – lost 90% of it’s value since I bought in.
Get to work, slackers! I didn’t invest in your company to fund your bailouts!

I want one of these as a motorcycle. Full size cruiser with all the gear and non of the noise. Great for commutes.

I recall in the 70s people thought the same thing about the new Toyota Corrollas that were just introduced into the market. It’s all perception. I predict the shape of modern vehicle’s will change radically away from the big boxy designs we are used to and in a few years we will look back on todays cars and think they were hideously big and primitive. Like an 8 track player, these Hummers and Escalades will be an amusing memory.
Good riddance. Can’t wait.

As for what kind of a break you get it differs from state to state. Right now in California, you get $1000 from the state.

That is very cool. It’s good for everyone. We need more incentives like this to clean up our air, create jobs in America, and reduce out dependence on foreign oil.

charging with solar panels:
suppose you don’t want to spend money plugging your car into the grid.
suppose you need to use the car in the morning but your batteries are depleted from the previous day. (continued)

the video is fine but the car only goes 40 mph? And how much is this little ride? Do you have to buy the car and solar panels together and what kind of a break do you get?

Yes the California Air Resources Board decided that it is a good idea to offer an incentive for buying EVs by giving a $1000 subsidy for EVs. Really cool!

So, California is currently offering $1000 to anyone who wants to buy a Xebra car?

as a normal urban commuter u dont really need more than 100 km/h, in terms of acceleration the electric technology is potentially superior to normal combustion

well i see your approach but considering the american mentality you ll have a very hard stance with this philosophy, id say its next to impossible to convert your average hummer driver into a fan of the label “hippie”, but its certainly good for harvesting the wealthier eco crowd (which is certainly a good idea to get things started) and you will also profit from the global warming and rare resources fear mongering

dgmw: to me this concept looks just great, its exactly what ive been talking about for years (easy to use solar, multi-purpose e-car aso.) but with this kind of advertisment and design you ll ensure that this technology stays where the car industry wants it to be, in a small eco-niche, its comical how much the car itself and the presentation fullfills the clichees the corporations wanted to push this technology in, do these people want to sell cars or just comfort their conscious?

I admire any experiment to get rid of the grip of the powerfull oil nations on the western world, But..Firstly, I think a car should at least be able to offer the same comfort as nowadays cars, and around 12 seconds from 0-100 km (0-60 miles), plus it should be able to drive at least, really.. no less than 150-160 km/hour
with the same safety as nowadays cars, (guess you can’t make them too light)
IS that possible?(I guess its not) until then im afraid this isn’t an alternative to a normal car

Looks like a toy car. The idea is GREAT but the design just kills it..

Electric cars have already exceeded the performance of many V8s.

I don’t understand why anyone would hate on this car especially when we are paying alot at the pump and that money goes to people who don’t like us for example Iran, Iraq, Venezuela. Yes these cars do need some advancements but aleast it will be better than paying 30 and over for gas.

Why can’t the solar panels go directly on the car?

Ha… I’ve put over 3000 miles on my “toy” electric car. My gas car gets jealous.
