Dodge Viper 500 hp Vs Tzero Electric Car - See Who Wins
Forerunner to the Tesla Roadster.
Viper = 510 hp, 3380 lb,
tzero = 225 hp, 1970 lb,
Viper = 0-60: 3.9sec
tzero = 0-60: 3.6sec
Viper = 326hp/ton
tzero = 250hp/ton
Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.

how much is 500km? …
how much is 500km? sorry but im actually in usa mph is common here lols. yea EV is easier to fill up im just wondering if they will increas our electric bills as soon as these cars become more popular. either way id rather have a Tesla EV than the Atom. the atom is a overgrown go cart.

EV has 500km range and costs $5.00 to “fill er up”
You don’t have to google, just look at the links above! See the Yellow thing!

how soon b4 you …
how soon b4 you recharge it lol. nice car to run in a 1/4 mile. its funny Lotus and Chrysler have a bond together thats why theyre considering the next viper to be an EV like a tesla. google it youll see. and if i had a spare 210K laying around id buy both these cars!

nowhere near silent …
nowhere near silent - sure its quieter, but you can hear it, and hear is 100% pure power.
And the torque is ANYTHING but boring
October 18th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
designwise, …
designwise, electric cars still struggle, and then there’s the fact that the cars are silent; i really think they should create an electric engine that actually makes some noise, the silent engine is just a bit… boring.plus you can hear the speed if it would make some sort of noise

It’s $25,000 for …
It’s $25,000 for the motor/inverter but it’s hand made, not a production item. They have licensed it… to Tesla, but the AC inverter is an old analogue design so the Tesla engineers dumped it and went digital.
It’s an AC Induction motor for a start so it doesn’t have permanent magnets but saying it’s ‘only’ copper wire is like saying an ICE is just cast iron and aluminium. Look up the price of ANY 150kw electric motor for comparison.
October 18th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
AC Propulsion …
AC Propulsion produce a brilliant motor/transmission combo but it’s so expensive - much more than a regular whole car. The bottom line is that the motor is ‘only’ copper wire, iron, bearings some magnets (and I’m not sure about the magnets) so why can’t AC Propulsion license the technology and mass produce the motors so we can use them in EV conversions at a reasonable cost - like $2.5K for example? It would go a long way to saving the planet. Please, license the design and get the cost down:)

Computers have been around just as long (difference engine 1822) but there have been more than a few advances in technology since then.

*depressing*
Sad thing is… they’ve been around since (ca1832). And they tend to disappear out of the peoples eye every 30years or so for one reason or another(mostly loss of PROFIT). Talk about history repeating itself
October 18th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Does it really …
Does it really matter? The enze has less then 100 made, and it no longer produced, and the Veyron is just as rare. Not real competetion, but also about $850,000 more than the Tzero.

idk about the bugatti, but this car should easily be able to pwn the ferrari enzo, at least in acceleration

An Enzo has 650hp, a Veyron has 1000hp… this EV has 220hp.
Have a look at the Wrightspeed X1 (on my channel) it runs the exact same 220hp EV motor / inverter and does 0-60 in 3.07…. beats an Enzo anyday!
Price: See Tesla Roadster.
Cost to run: $0.01 per mile

Grow a brain! Split …
Grow a brain! Split open your laptop battery and you’ll find it contains approx 8x AA sized Li-ion cells called 18650. The Tesla has 6800 of them. You can buy them off ebay for $3.00ea that is about what Tesla pay.
The A123 batteries in the Volt DO exist they’ve been available in Dewalt power tools since 2005.
Does your joke of a Yaris do 0-60 in 3.6 sec and do you expect to torch it when the warranty is up? You’re also neglecting to add your servicing costs mate, they don’t exist on EVs!
October 18th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
That’s all great …
That’s all great man, but I ask you to directly show a flaw in my figures. This car uses laptop computer batteries, and anyone who has such a computer knows that what I’m saying is true. The Volt doesn’t really even exist yet, and the Tesla, if your figures are true, costs $.20/mile to operate just in batteries, not including electricity. My Yaris gets 44mpg@60 mph, and so costs $.075/mile to operate, fuel included. I’ve much more to say, but we are limited to 500 characters, and so it ends.
October 18th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Hilarious, your …
Hilarious, your logic is just ridiculous.
1) Ever heard of the Hoover Dam or Nuclear power etc? You’ll note not a single power station uses a reciprocating petrol fuelled ICE! 2) The full cost of a Tesla is $98,000 batteries included! 6800 x 18650 cells cost $20,000 and have a 100k Mile warranty. The GM Volt has a warranty of 150k mile and 10 years. That’s over 3500 cycles and longer than the average new ICE powered car lasts before parts start falling off it from heat fatigue.

This thing suffers …
This thing suffers the same two problems that all electrics do 1)the electricity didn’t generate itself, read:coal. 2)the batteries. A laptop computer battery is generally good for 300-400 charge cycles, and costs about $75 to replace, meaning if you drove the thing every two days to capacity, you would spend $525,000 in batteries every two years. Maybe you can get a great deal, and get them for $10 each, still $70,000. Even at $5, still $35,000. I haven’t used that much gas in my whole life.
