Electric cars.
« on: 21 November 2013, 15:34:25 »
I'm aware that Mr Guffer has invested in a Nissan Leaf, which is currently one of the best 'leccy' cars available.

Has anyone any experience of the BMW i3?........It looks promising but quite costly, I think. :y

I thought the i3 was electric only!
Has to be plugged it every 80 miles or so, unless you purchase the extra battery pack, then its 140 miles or summat!  :D

Hmmm....Same old problem since the dawn of time.

I've said this before....but in 2013 surely we have the technology to make a car run for 500 or even 1000 miles without a recharge.....or is the technology still stuck in the fifties? :-\

I was wiith someone today who is getting involved in the Formula E stuff. Great short term performance but at present battery technology limits races to 20 mins. Apparently on top gear recently.

The Insignia is actually a shrewd used buy. It is so hideous that they can be picked up for peanuts.
