Default Future May Be Friendly - Electric Car

Perhaps in a sign of the future, an Ariel Atom with electric
power takes on a Ferrari & a Porsche GT.

There isn't much footage on the slalom course, but it is interesting
to watch the results of the acceleration matches at Infineon.

Electric Car vs Ferrari (google video)

Plug it into your electric outlet and your local coal burning plant to charge it. Or maybe use your gas powered generator. They're much more efficient then the engine in your current car

What should we do with the batteries once their useful life is over.

Just because it's electric doesn't mean it's better for the environment.

Nope, it doesn't.

But gosh, that torque sure can make it accelerate ...

I wonder if in its 150 mile range it will accelerate like that? or does it start to die at about 125 miles and then you have to drive around at 35 mile an hour till it dies.
