As long as the range is enough to get it to Mexico,or the junkyard, it’s sufficient.
Yeah, asshole, but show us your electric bill and the bill to convert a perfectly fuel-efficient vehicle to battery power…..How fuckin’ long will it take you to break even? Typical elitist rich jack-off teaching us poor fools how to live. And now you can’t haul anything in it either, ’cause it’s filled with batteries!!! Whatta tool.
now this is smart design.
I love you Tom Hanks. I love you.
More power to you Tom and thanks for showing this technology and putting your celeb status to a worthy cause. GOD bless you. I know you will continue to pursue this technology for the health of us all and our planet. JB
Looks like a BMW MINI ! ^^
It must be great to be rich enough to afford to be seen zooming around in an electric car! I bet he’s got around a dozen “proper” cars! no one could use one of these as their main car yet.

wtf am I going to do with a sea plane in Ohio? Plus the electricity from nuclear power plants comes from steam.
Did you read my profile? It explains (read it all) what I think is the best path to cheap and plentiful power.
The “end” game will not be electrics if I and others are successful…
We are thermal beings and the thermal domain has many advantages. You drive a car for comfort (like a moving house at 72 F) and thermal loads are very large in hot and cold climates, especially at slow speeds as a fraction (50% at times) of power used.
No need for nuke power with my stuff…
I just looked up my DP&L bill its .08 cent per Kw-hr. Its .08 cents for the first 750 Kw-hr and .08 cents for everything past that per month. Unfortunately I did look it up on Google that’s where I got the ridiculous number. The question I have is what if you use nuclear power augmented with solar, wind and I guess for you CA’s on the coast, tidal power. Plus this is normally seen as an alternative to Oil at the very least.

Amazing actor, amazing person.
One of my most favorite people ever!
Thank you, Tom, for everything. <3
Joe,
The average rate in Ohio (Google it …) is $0.12/kw-hr. Ohio is heavy on coal.
CA has a rate structure that starts at 11 cents/kw-hr and goes up to 40 cents depending on usage during the month. The more you use the more you pay.
In CA, if you plug in your car it will force you to 40 cents/kw-hr quickly. In most cases, you will therefore pay 40 cents/kw-hr to juice your car up…that’s$13.6/gallon….
That is “wtf” I am talking about. Educate yourself BEFORE you speak…
Where did you get your information? I sure as hell cant see where a coal burning power plant could be cleaner or more efficient considering the amount of Kwh required to equal one gallon of gas
Electricity in CA is $0..40 /kw-hr. There are 34 Kw=hrs in one gallon. That is $13..6/ gallon. Ouch.
There is technology that can get 60% off of carbon fuels, such as NG at $1.0/gallon. An electric car plug to wheel with regen braking is around 70%. That is a 10:1 over electric car.
DONE’T assume electric cars will not be beat out AGAIN by innovations…from a new thermal engines.
Read my profile for details…
This guy is a legend, he is so rich and so famous and he could have any car he wants and yet he decides to have an electric one
i love this man!!!
i did alot of work towards wireless power, please just check out my youtube, its all right there, 20 ft tesla wireless energy much farther than the recharging pad, but still it can go alot further!
oh man your right! ive got the same technology for my cell phone. its a wireless recharging pad. if you could get the range it could be infinate power for a car.absolutely genius.
Let’s see $15k for the Scion and $55k to convert it? Now way! You can get an E-Porsche for that money!
@Chortleclips
fossil fuel plant efficiency = 50% or greater
car gas motor efficiency = up to 20%
electric motor = 90%
also, fossuil fuel plants are less poluent than gas cars.
you are wrong. Studies have shown that the atmospheric detrimental effects of electric vehicles powered with electricity derived from coal power plants for example is less detrimental than atmospheric effects of CO2 emissions from exhaust fumes. There is also no material on the earth that is currently capable of holding enough hydrogen in a cell to attain the range of use that batteries can provide, not to mention the fact that hydrogen is very expensive. Watch Who Killed the Electric Car.
ok well I hear thats what they are doing in some parts of California and it sounded like a good idea. Im sticking with diesel until they come up with something that isnt complete ass to drive. As oil companies partly rule the world its doubtful we’ll all completely switch from fossil fuels till we are buying something else they own.
yep, that’s where the money should be going.
These cars will definately be the future, just what a shame they have no sound. Very boring.
A great Ariel Atom!
lol wonder how many bugs went in his mouth
may be fast but looks and sounds gay, sounds like a toy car… you just look like a nerd in that sorry 2 say it lol
I guess that you can buy the basic frame, and then pop in your own power-plant. One of these passed me on the roads of arizona in the desert. But the one I seen was powered by a gas engine. I took a few pics of it. I always wondered, They make motocycles, why not a single or double seater motorcycle with 4 wheels? Not everybody wants to pack the world in your car.
The cost of oil is close to $100 a barrel now, the electric vehicle (ev) never made more sense than now..and it doesn’t pollute!
Get solar panels and you get FREE ENERGY..
gunifigoo, go to lionev website. Cost about $30K for 100% electric sedan or suv or truck. max tested range 456 miles.
go to lionev website. get an electric car with max tested range 456 miles. cost $30K
If you can afford $30K, you can go to the lionev website. They got electric sedans, suvs, and trucks. Max tested range 456 miles.
But I’ll start saving now, may be 20 years from now I’ll be able to buy one
.
It’s so funny how if you drive any green car: Electric, hydrogen, etc. People take it as such a novity.
if battery can recharge quickly, please reserve one for me guys..!!!
;D
I love the electric sound and the idea if you can get electricity greenly, then you can have fun in a fast car, with out affecting the enviroment or anyone else.
zero to sixty in three .. fun but not a family car.
This thing is a 4 wheel motorcycle.
I want one!
OK, now if we can only get these things mass produced, that’ll send the price way down, but that’s assuming the Bush administration doesn’t try to sue these cars out of existence as they successfully did with the EV1 – download “Who killed the electric car” on a torrent to see exactly what i mean
i wonder how much money it costs to recharge the battery vs how much it costs to fill up a sports car
what happens if it rains and hails lol. Duct tape an umbrella to the sides to cover up XD but thats an awesome car though
“what if it gets stuck in traffic and runs out of battery or something”
Unlike a gas powered vehicle, the electric motor is not on when the vehicle is at rest. Engines on other hand must be running continuously since they cannot make torque at 0 rpm. Which means they cannot start up themselves when off. (reason it takes an electric motor to start a gas engine
).
Yes it is.
Same thing that would happen to a car that runs out of gas in traffic?
is it really street legal to drive one everywhere? well not everywhere, but as an everyday car?
Was that camera a kodak v803?
what if it gets stuck in traffic and runs out of battery or something
Where does most of the oil come from – and is that a really stable part of the world? EVs put the “fuel choice” into the hands of the countries who use them. We can use hydro, solar, wind, nuclear, or even coal. Power stations are a way to concentrate the generation – instead of having millions of chimney stacks driving along the roads through our neighbourhoods you have a few big ones away from where you live. And breathe easier. Or use hydro/solar/wind.
