I am sure many have seen the adverts:
Power 109ps
Torque 280Nm
Actually looks quite interesting.
May be the focus replacement when it expires.

Take some duracell? By all means this is one of the first, things can only get better. |

oh no i totally agree with you perc. the leaf looks quite good but its gonna be the same until they develop a better kinetic recharge system. It was on the radio the other day, until they can get electric cars to go further than ~100 miles hybrids will always be the only sensible medium between environment and convienience. |

well i still think james may is right from that episode of top gear where he tested the honda clarity hydrogen powered car. in my opinion thats the only way forward is hydrogen. renewable source for the future! |

They are over priced and gay. However I agree with the Honda being next way to refuel. Its what we know and 0 emissions. The leaf sounds better than what I thought but could do with more range but as said "things can only get better" Anything is better than the ridiculously priced prius. |

As mentioned that will give better performance then my Focus and batteries just keep getting better. The way to see it is its th future if we like it or not. |

How renewalable is hydrogen? |

Did you not watch top gear when they had the Honda on there? |

Nope I missed it but I will look it up, but performance aside, is hydrogen sustainable? |

It's water, lol More in depth, it's water (clean or mildly dirty) that is electrolised, and it then gives off nitrogen bubbles which rise to the top, so it needs to be done in a high pressure containter to collect the gas and not let it escape  So yes, very renewable haha |

Until we run out of water... By all means electricity is strictly renewable, but it can be generated by renewable means. |

But the process of making 10,000 batterys is even worse than running a nuclear power plant for 100 years - in enviromental terms |

you haved a huggggge amount of ocean to steal water from, just use a brita filter or something. |

Apparently you can use sea water, the salt helps produce more nitrogen. It's just like sewage that you can't use haha |

But dare I say, when we started digging up fossil fuels there was enough for forever. Yes it maybe just one drop in the ocean but it will run out. Anyway I am starting to sound like a tree hugger! Anybody else like the torque figures of electric engines? |

Yeah! torque at 0rpm So you can get some seriously quick 0-60's |
