E-REV Wishlist - Final Product
« on: March 20, 2008, 10:10:01 PM »
Use this topic to describe the ideal configuration of your "dream range-extender".  This is the money-is-no-object version of what you'd have if it were feasible.

Something like a Chevy Volt.  'Nuff said.

The Volvo Recharge would be my ideal E-Car.

I like the motors in the wheels concept.

This is a great looking concept.  Set up much the way a locomotive is.  I also like the wheel motors.  This would look really great in my garage.  ;D

I was at Detroit Auto Show in January 2008. I was told the volt production is planned to start in October 2008. Estimated cost around $25,000.00. They are planning to use Iithium-ion batteries from A123SYSTEMS OF WATERTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS> THEY USE IRON INSTEAD OF Cobalt in their batteries, much safer and can be charged any times longer.

 I will believe they make the Volt when I see it .  IMO it is another pipe dream of GM.  They have gotten a ton of free press and goodwill from it, but when Toyota and Honda who actually have experience building electric vehicles have stayed away, I doubt GM will pull it off.  Seriously doubt it.  Let's hope I am wrong...

For me, the ultra-efficient series-phev Aptera!   i think the space-age look to it is a plus for me too (yellow truck guy:-).  Perhaps by the time i get one (I WILL OWN ONE SOMEDAY), it will have a "fly over traffic" option  ;D   We can't expect an EREV to look like and be a metal box (ala Henry Ford from 100+ years ago).  i only need two seats (and occasionally room for a 7 foot surfboard:-).  Ideally, i'd like the ICE part to be biodiesel, but they aren't 'into that' yet.  Also, read about the problems of getting a small diesel accepted in CA.

i tried reserving one today but only CA residents can so far.  i sent in a question asking if they could make an exception for an IL EV leader  :D
If that fails, i may ask a CA cousin or friend to reserve one on my behalf.  The list is over 1000 and growing... err... 201x???

They are definitely on the RIGHT TRACK!!!
