Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 All, I spent a few hours looking into an Electric Van yesterday..... They are getting up to 150 miles per charge, with many service stations with a rapid charge system which takes under an hour from 10% to 100% ( which they let you use for free, in most cases ) No tax, no £9600 fuel bill (and raising rapidly) I like this one, but I dont like the sub 100 mile range.... so still looking Has anyone got an electric car? driven one, know anyone with one.... http://www.alliedelectric.co.uk/electri ... ot-eboxer/ SW Quote
Richwill15 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Well you've seen my car not electric but cheap. I'm still interested in this but would really hope hydrogen fuel cell technology was available. That would fix a lot of things. How much was the van? I couldn't find a price. Al Quote
Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 LOL Just got a call back from the sales team.... Its ONLY £57,000 So thats that idea out of the window. SW Quote
Richwill15 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Bargain FFS!! Lol. I see early adoption is out ill stick with my £30 tax bill and £1500 yearly fuel bill Yes yes I know. It's tiny. But size isn't everything (thankfully) Al Quote

Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The question is... Which of the Atom's is faster? SW Quote
Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Also, Dude.... Spare wheels or not.... Either paint the rear ones black or anodise the front ones Shame on you. LOL SW Quote
garyfreefly Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The way I see it you could increase the range of any electric car without too much of a problem Just get a great big dirty fume belching diesel generator and put it on the back seat... Problem solved SIMPLES Quote
Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 LOL They do estimate that there will be at least a 5% increase in efficiency every year for at least the next 10. Some are claiming that they already have a motor / engine that is 15% more efficient ready as a bolt on for next year. The more I look into this, the more I am getting excited about it. Liquid Fuel, if becoming a posh persons thing! I can see why they have been investing so much into public transport now!! because everyone will be needing it soon! SW Quote
morgy Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Also, Dude.... Spare wheels or not.... Either paint the rear ones black or anodise the front ones Shame on you. LOL SW Hi Sorry No they were a bargin £400 for a full set of wheels and road tyres. They are only use for track so i really dont care they could be pink for that price!!!! Quote
