Man,thats awesome,don't think oil companies or big oil producing countries will be a big fan.Sure wish tesla type wireless electricity had taken off,maybe it still will one day since the way we do it now is subject to a whole range of problems
It may not be as badass-looking or quite as fast as the Wrightspeed X1, but Tom and Yvette Sines' "Evette" electric car does have the edge in at least one area: it's street-legal. And it ain't too shabby in terms of performance either, with a range of 200 miles and a top speed of 60 miles per hour. Like the Wrightspeed, however, a big chunk of the car is nothing but batteries, with twenty-four 12-volt batteries packed into that fiberglass body, which can supposedly be recharged at a cost of just $2 (although they'll have to be replaced every three to five years). While it's a one of a kind wonder for now, the husband and wife duo are currently seeking investors to help them mass produce the car, which they say could go for as little as $25,000 once production ramps up -- although we're guessing they'd probably have to change the name, or face some expenses of another sort.

Hmm... shows that these things are possible. But again, they've made it look like a poorly made prop for a low-budget film. Why can't these of people just build a normal-looking one for once? Or if you're gonna try to copy the design of an existing car, do it right.
60 might be fine for some people, but it'd be nice to at least double that before I think of getting one.
This car doesn't have the best looks ever, but it's a great first step to our dream: NO MORE OIL COMPANIES! Pretty soon there won't be any oil left anyways![]()
