How does Veeky Forums feel about electric cars? Would you buy one if you had the money...

I like the thought of them but I think it's going to make cars boring, the sound and variety of different engines is a huge part of what makes cars cool, once it goes to electric I guess the main point will be styling

>They've been on the market for only a handful of years
Ok, cool. But a Scottish inventor created an electric car long before the gasoline engine.
so....

>4c
>super car
lmao

>it would embarrass a 30 year old car

jesus could motortrend get any fucking worse.

There will still be performance enthusiasts but it will all geek out quickly. People will be talking about kilowatts and maximum amps and supercapacitors and battery chemistry.

>there are no such things as outdoor electrical sockets

Are you being intentionally obtuse as le epic troll or are you just that way naturally?

EVs have instant torque as soon as you touch the ga-er..."accelerator", so of course they'll have a decent 0-60 time. But once the petrol car gets up to speed bye bye EV. Notice how all the tests with EVs are drag competitions...

Well, good luck in your endeavors for lossy energy transmission.

as opposed to kilowatts, cfm, and compression ratios?
