Question

Im VERY interested in an electric sports car. Gas prices are SKYROCKETING and in 3 years its going to be about 7.00$ a gallon. I would like some help finding an AFORDABLE sports car that runs on ONLY electric. I know theres a lot out there, and the most popular one is the tesla roadster, but it runs for around 100k im willing to spend around a max of 60k so if anyone could help me that would be grate. i also dont mind used.

Answer 1

After you have mastered spell checker, the next step would be to do some research on electric cars.  You will find that they are not yet practical, because scientists have not yet solved the energy density problems associated with batteries.  Also, would you please cite your data that shows gasoline prices will more than double on 36 months?

Answer 2

At the moment the only one available to individuals is the Tesla Roadster, but this will change in approximately 1 year.

Available in California in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost about $27,000 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy, and a range of over 600 miles total when in electric/gas hybrid mode, for around $30,000.  On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon.  The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency.

Available in late 2008 or early 2009, the ZAP Alias will cost $30,000, have a top speed of 100 mph, and a range of 100 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter the ZAP-X will be available at a cost of $60,000 with a top speed of 155 mph and a range of 350 miles per charge.  This probably fits your criteria the best, as it's the fastest and has the best range for your maximum price.

GOOD FOR YOU!  I know when I am in a more financially stable place (and ready for a car), it will be an all electric model for me!

Answer 4

Buy a ferrari. they go faster.

Answer 5

Exactly what is your basis for the $7.00 per gallon projected price on gasoline?  Can you actually support this or is it just a wild guess?
