New Electric Cars?

�

I heard about the new electric cars. Do you know any websites that features lists and pictures of cheap, electric cars?

Answer
It would help if you gave more information about your needs (i.e. range, top speed, cost).

ZAP sells various versions of the Xebra

It costs about $10,000 and has a range of 25 miles per charge and a top speed of 40 mph.

There are also neighborhood electric vehicles which are basically souped-up golf carts than can go up to 20-25 mph.

There's the ZENN, which can go up to 25 mph with a range of abot 35 miles per charge for around $13,000.

Wouldn't having an electric car send your electricity bill through the roof?

Matthew S

I guess I am not green enough to understand--the purpose of the electric car is to make the world a better place. Would getting a car that runs all on electricity cost you a lot for your electricity bill? I didn't know if it was something you had to plug in, like an electric golf cart. In the end, wouldn't you pay more for electricity then gas. Explain.

Answer
It would increase your electric bill, and it would decrease your gasoline bill by even more.

Electric cars cost 2-3 cents per mile to recharge. A 30 mpg gas car costs 10 cents per mile if gasoline is $3/gallon.

That's pretty easy math.

Weight of a golf car or a buggy differential?or The lightest differential system i can buy?

koray meli

Ok we are going to make an electric car and we will use an open differential system.Right now i am looking for the cost of an open differential.It is easy to find cost information but nobody gives the weight information.I am thinking one of you may help.
The car we will make will most likely not exceed 60 km/h that is 37.8 mph. It is for an electric car efficiency racing and we have an upper weight limit of 200 kg. It will be designed to cary 2 people. As i see giving an accurate weight is not possible can you just give me an approximate value?

Answer
That's because the weight of the differential and axles really doesn't matter that much.

I'd be more concerned about the gear ratios and the weight and speed that the assembly of gears, bearings and axles is designed to carry. An axle assembly with gears and bearings that are designed to go 20 miles per hour in a golf cart won't survive in a car that goes 60 MPH. A car will also weigh more than a golf cart, so you'll need stronger axles.

Instead of golf cart parts, I'd go look at a few of the newer 2 or 4 passenger side-by-side ATV and small utility trucks that are becoming popular these days.

Where can I find an electric vehicle for low cost?

best electric golf cars image

Q. Our family is interested in electric mobility. My brother wants an electric scooter. My mom wants an electric or hybrid golf cart or car like vehicle that would be street legal. Something she doesn't need a license for since she'd disabled she doesn't have one. But she still wants to be able to get more groceries than she can carry or push in a wagon. I'm wanting a scooter too so I can get to the library and the park.
How can we find stuff like this for low cost or are there even kits or plans that you can build something like this?

Answer
-----------
Yes, there are cheap electric cars. An interesting one is the ZAP, which is only $10,000. It has a top speed of 40mph:

*
Consider also an 'NEV', which stands for 'neighborhood electric vehicle.' These cars top out at 25mph. There are a couple here for very reasonable prices:

*
If you want a more normal car that can do freeway speeds, you could try a conversion. These are gas cars which have been inexpensively converted to electric. More details here:

Do electric cars already exist and are they in use?

Q. Do we believe media specials that say that big Oil bought and shelved the concept?

We also have electric golf cart, electric lawn mowers, electric grass trimmers but people use gas for convenience.

Answer
It's a crazy conspiracy theory. Pure electric cars just don't work. They suck, no one shelved the design because of greedy big oil, electrics just don't have the balls to get the job done on American highways. Gas/electric hybrids work great though.
