I'm hoping someone figures out a way to get some real power of an electric engine.

I know right now the goal is to get more miles to the charge but I'd like to see someone actually make a car that people would enjoy driving not something that just gets people back and forth. All of the "green" cars I've seen look like crap and are as fast my bicycle.

They could put some style into the cars since they can't put any power in yet.

the reason for buying an electric car is economy and environment, for a supercar it's fun fun fun. -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:53 1
- I know but I'm thinking that a lot of people aren't going to be interested in a "green" car unless it's also fun to drive. - krusty Nov 12, 14:58
A lot of the electric car "junior" companies right now are limited to the same licensing structure as scooters. - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:48 2
- Scooters?!? That's terrible, hopefully they'll change that soon. - krusty Nov 12, 14:53 1
  - It's a safety/liability/insurance thing. Historically, fan-built electric cars were ... lacking in many of the safety features common in mainstream - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:16

- Oops, forgot about that one. Okay, there's one. :-) -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 14:44
