Who killed the electric car ???

[driftkingII]

I dunno if this video was posted here or not but do check it out.

It is like another Fahrenheit 9/11 accordin to the comments.

By the way, who killed the electric car ????

bro...

Whenever you read this kinda thing you have to take it with a pinch of salt...

I am a very very environmental concerned person but I can tell you if electric cars are introduced to Malaysia tmr I will be strictly against it.

Why???

Simply because by just running electric cars you will generate MORE pollution than with your petrol cars now. Why?? because you are sihting the pollution over the the electric generation plants. The power still needs to be generated somewhere right? it's either generated in your own car(petrol engine) or generated at the power plant(electric). Energy doesn't exist on its own. In Malaysia we are running 73% natural gas at electric generation plants around the country. Natrual gas emmisions still contributes to global warming.
Imagine if half of the contry switches to electric vehicles, how many more power plants would we have to build to keep up with the nation's demand on electricity?

And not to mention an electric car's TOTAL efficiency is much less than a petrol car because energy is lost when you charge the batteries and when you convert from electric back to kinetic energy. So which means at the end of the day you are using more energy to get your car running the same distance as compared to a petrol vehicle.

And also not to mention the disposal problems of used batteries?

Of coz if you introduce electric vehicles in Britan, Japan or US it's a different story because the electric generation there is nuclear energy and nuclear energy is emmission free, clean, does not contribute to global warming, so there that's a different scenario. Too bad 3rd world countries will still take time to shift to much cleaner source of energy line nuclear power.

On top of that... Petronas will suffer heavy losses so the G will not intro electric cars here.

Bro,
cannot say like that ... the purpose is to let you install solar panel at home, so you can recharge @ home without using those power from power plant, thus it is a source of renewable energy; without our sunny malaysia weather, there will be no problem. our power not totally rely on fosil fuel either, we got hydro power plant too, i know it is small output compare to the fosil fuel, but solar panel @ home seems to be a quite good solution. we cannot also rely on petrol, you know it is going to be depleted within 60 years, worldwide ... so alternative energy life biofuel and other technology it is currently rapidly developing. my company entirely going on house/commercial buidling green technology, you will be suprise how effective they are.

new generation of battery can last 10 times longer then you car battery, and they are AA battery. amazing? yes, it is a bunch of AA batteries to power a car, a US company is testing on it, result it will be release soon. As for pentronas ... i will now answer now to the next post ... petronas fuel basically produce for aircraft or other industry, we are trading out premium fuel with arabs poor quality oil, as long there are heavy commercial/industry oil needed, petronas sure make profit, unless one day we don't have planes anymore.

conclusion, how to power electric car? solar power !

but isnt it will make d car slow?

 

[zealless]

nope, it won't, the energy pack is enough to power a normal car ... and because we are using batteries instead of engine, the weight of the car is dramatically reduce and since we are not pumping petrol, there is no need for a petrol tank and other component to run a petrol engine, so less engine, less weight, less power needed to power a car ...

but isnt it will make d car slow?

[KeV-TEC]

for small car like K-car can la...
those who into performance sure wont like it

 

[bedal]

hmm... do u guys think that there will be oil forever??
oil is natural resources. and resources will finish one day...
if u got a friend who work in a oil & gas industry, try asking them about this.

if wanna save the oil, let ride a bicycle or horse la.... :_:

Electric cars are FAST!

Take the Tango - http://www.commutercars.com/ for example. There used to be another (can't remember the name) but it creamed a Corvette V8 (0-100km) under 5 seconds!

 

[KeV-TEC]

speechless... if then should intro d electric car ma!!!

 

[acbc]

Oh yeah... it's called the tzero - http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero_pages/tzero_home.htm

Here's the video - http://www.acpropulsion.com/ACP_movies/tzero_corvette_drag1.mov

Unfortunately, tzero will never go into production. Why? High cost of producing it.

check out all the products, the horsepower per tonne is exactly the same as petrol ...
you can put more batteries in to get more horsepower ... same theory as to a bigger engine

for small car like K-car can la...
those who into performance sure wont like it

Lastly, with Petronas giving A LOT of money to the G... I don't think they will approve any electric cars into MY. First of all, only TNB will benefit the most.

Which also explains any hybrids are making a very slow entry into MY markets. Put off by high price.

 

[zealless]

well, i have to admit the production cost of hybird car is expensive + malaysia high import taxes and AP, i guess they won't bring any in soon, unless one day we out of petrol ...

I understand bro. cuma saya anti-bush. He is greddy for oil.

Sorry for bush supporters here
