Btw, this is pretty interesting too: The MDI Air Car - The World´s Cleanest Car. |
It's only made as a sportscar.
The chargeing time is about 3,5 hours... but as I mentioned, the battery system they use is rather improvisation than inovation. They used cross-connected notebook batteries
I put it here just to show that you can build other things than those soap boxes powered with electricity
It seems that last year there had been significant breakthroughs in battery and ultra capacitor technologies, which means that the developement and implimentation could happen sigificantly faster than expected.
All major car companies have been working on hydrogen-fuel cell cars for the last 2 decades... they focused on hydrogen, because batteries seemed like they would never have the neccessary performence.
Due to massive success of mobile technology this has changed significantly.
And since hydrogen cars are basicly a electric car with a fuelcell to generate the electricity... the car industry would only need to change the fuelcell & hydrogen tank with a battery/capacitor and they have finished concepts.
