SAM - Zero Emission Vehicle

thayr · 2008-07-11, 02:30 AM

SAM is a Swiss award-winning and patented Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) of a new generation designed and developed by Cree Ltd. Totally electric and capable of carrying 2 people. The batteries delay 1 hour to charge 40% and 6 hours for a full charge. It has an autonomy of 50 - 70 km and 85 top speed. It can accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in 7 seconds.

This is in no way better for the environment. The car itself has zero emissions, but what about the factories? Electric cars just make the shift from nonpoint source pollution(cars) to point source pollution(the factories).

I'll stick to a traditional car with good gas mileage until we get some real revolutionary technology.

actually, i see that as one of the worst electric cars. Ive saw electric race cars before.

My reasons for it being bad -

1. Gonna be as expensive as any other electric car
2. it cant accelerate fast, an electric car SHOULD be able to go from 0-60 in 2 seconds.
3. it looks rediculous.
4. they've made electric race cars, which can go faster, last longer, and look better.

Electric doesn't seem entirely like the way to go since we just shift from burning gas to burning coal. We'll run out of coal one day too, and it's dirtier to burn.

That car isn't so great for going between towns. I say buy a bike that can carry some gear if you are staying in town anyway.
