It's cool when you zoom in as they are strategically placed

Hello Mark Prince

I was expecting something completely different..

wtf in china too ?

I was thinking how do you fit a supercharger to an electric car.

electrical carriages

Nice truck but i would not call it light.

Which Electric Cars Charge The Fastest? - HybridCars.com

Electric vehicles are not for long range travel.

this is a map of service centers, boutiques and chargers.

Behing the SpaceX facility.

You rarely see trucks this size/type anywhere outside of US. Are they mad or the rest of the world mad?
Trying to understand a purpose for these :winkwink:

Car is awesome. I own a black one

They are the 'I have a small pee-pee' trucks.

I bet price of electricity will storm up in 30 years

Supercharged pickup trucks are not for long distance travel (but could be fueled). I don't take my 8.0 L V-10 long-haul (if i can avoid it ;) ).

Electric Car Owners Face Confusion at the Charging Station - Businessweek

The service station of the future will dispense liquid hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells will recharge the vehicle's batteries while you drive -- then you could coast on the electric. 15 years from now or less?

Road train in 0z --can carry it's own fuel

don't forget the expensive watches, sports cars, boats and guns that people like you associate with small peni.

You can carry 2/5 Gallon Jerry Cans of gasoline (or diesel) but carrying 200 miles worth of electricity reserve is an issue.

In America cross country you can travel 500 to 700 miles (up to 1000km) daily -- that takes 10 to 12 hours ... Ft. Worth to El Paso TX is a 600mi/970km haul ... now take a look at that map :1orglaugh the "Texas Autobahn" 140 - 160 km/hr.

For short haul interurban, or urban commutes, electric cars can make sense.

Even when EV autos have 300 - 400 mile ranges they are not practical for some longer haul travel. Apart from that, there are no functional electric utility plants in the Zombie Apocalypse -- you can always scavenge up some gasoline :P

Farmers keep storage tanks of diesel and gasoline ;)

Young and cool.

Sure, but drivers like me, drive between downtown and the outskirts, maybe about 15 kilometres. In the summer, this gives me about 2 and a half round trips on a single charge. But since I can charge at home and downtown, this works out perfectly.

Also, cars like the Volt have a gas backup engine, so when we do need to take a long trip, we can easily do it.

A fun thing to do is to plan a trip using EV charging stations along the way. It's hard to do today, but considering how fast EV charging stations are popping up (80 more are being added here in Montreal and surrounding area this year), planning EV-only trips will be getting easier and easier.

Tesla's go for about 450 kilometres on a single charge, and charge up to about 80% in 20 minutes. I bet that pretty soon, EV's will be able to to travel coast to coast.

you know what would be supercool is for tesla to put a supercharger button on their new sprts car that allows the motor to output like 110% for 4 seconds or something.

Nice innovation! :thumbsup
