When will Electric Cars Come out in the USA?

WordZapper

Answer
There already are some available. For example, the (expensive) Telsa Roadster and various short-range low-speed EVs, the best of which is the ZAP Xebra.

http://www.teslamotors.com/
http://www.zapworld.com/electric-vehicles/electric-cars/xebra-sedan

Several affordable long-range high-speed EVs will begin to become available starting in about a year.

Available in California in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost about $27,000 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy, and a range of over 600 miles total when in electric/gas hybrid mode, for around $30,000. On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon. The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency.

Available in late 2008 or early 2009, the ZAP Alias will cost $30,000, have a top speed of 100 mph, and a range of 100 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter the ZAP-X will be available at a cost of $60,000 with a top speed of 155 mph and a range of 350 miles per charge.

Available in late 2008 or early 2009, the Miles Javlon will cost $30,000 with a top speed of 80 mph and a range of 120 miles per charge.

Would people buy an electric car if there was an efficient method of charging the cars?

Don'tGiveU

I am conducting a little poll to see how many people would use an electric car if it were efficient to charge (multiple charging stations, long range, and low cost).

In other words, would you drive a car that you could pay $0.75 (per 40 miles) to fill up vs. $4.00 (per 40 miles).
Just say YES if you would. Or if you wouldn't please state why.

Answer
Electric cars are a non-starter in the USA. People are too wigged out about the battery-range thing. Wait until plug-in hybrids are common, and people go a whole year without ever using the onboard gas engine, and they start going "hey wait, why did I pay $5000 extra for the gas engine?" And people will figure out that electrics CAN work.

What is the cost to run an electric car?

Patrick

Doesn't most electricity come from generators that are powered by oil or even coal. If the price of oil goes up, won't the price of electricity follow? What is the cost per mile for an electric car?

Answer
Right now electricity is generated by nuclear , hydro , coal ,
oil , solar , thermal , and wind power. The USA uses more nuclear powered electric than any country in the world incuding France. Nuclear creates about 20 % of our electric power. Before clean coal electricity plants , most diesel electricity generation was created switching from coal to oil to reduce emissions. The cost per mile for an electric car is 8 cents a mile. The problem is the car will only run about 40 miles and it takes a long time to charge the battery. A better solution is to create hydrogen using electric power. Then fuel cells powered by hydrogen can run electric motor cars at speeds up to 90 miles an hour over 270 miles per fill up. see n1r.us for details. Right now if the cost of oil goes up , diesel generated electricity will become more expensive.
