New Plug-in Electric Car Company

Why would I contribute to anything that does not identify the people involved; or their concept or business plan; location; or issuing shares for that matter. Smells of a scam.

Here's a real electric car company:

I just woner by looking at the size of plug, what is the voltage requied

Here's the real deal - 220 miles per charge

But don't those cost at least $US100,000...?

Not exactly feasible for the vast majority of drivers.

around here the tax on cars is about 180%, but electric cars are exempt, $110K would be the prise of something like a 3 series BMW

the tesla is the first electric car that isn't ugly and slow, if more were electric cars were like it, there's hope :)

The price tag really isn't that bad for a hand built car. But it shows what can be done in future at a lot lower cost.

IMO the battery tech has finally been sorted. LiFeP seems to fit the bill perfectly. Any improvements from now on is a bonus. 200+ miles with an overnight recharge and a 5000 deep discharge life is good enough for most people.

for most people.

Except for the sky-high price.

I either saw or read something (can't recall :( ) to the effect that, in addition to a battery, and in addition to being rechargeable via plug, a car can be outfitted with a very small gas-sipping motor that recharges the batteries when they get low.

enough for most people.

You don't think the price will drop moving from hundreds to millions of production units?

How will they sell enough at over $100,000 each to drive the price down?

They won't as far as the Tesla car is concerned. But there's no inherent reason why a practical electric car should cost any more than a normal one.

Too funny. Plug-in hybrids do seem to get better mileage but nobody looks at the offset which is higher usage rates of electricity.

Sure the price will drop as they automate the assembly of the vehicle. That's what gets me about regular car prices, alot of the car is put together by machines these days. Yet the prices don't seem to come down much.

production units?

If electric car makes a significant dent into oil consumption, oil prices will drop making them a less sensible option.

When millions of electric cars hit the road, the cost of electricity will rise accordingly due to lack of supply. Can't build all those nukes over night.

Tesla is a light sedan, family car needs a lot more KWh. And a comparable range to ICE.

It will be long years before electric cars enter into mainstream.

If you really invested a substantial amount of money I am sure you would be given more information. What is being offered is the chance to give up one trip to McDonalds in order to support a cause. You dont spend a dime unless the total amount requested is pledged. But people said the same thing about Henry Ford. Tesla has raised millions of dollars but only have one car.. a prototype! DGA is only looking for seed money to develop a prototype. I imagine then they will go after the big money nad the proforma cash flow would be offered then to serious investors.

That's because so many extras are added on to keep the price, and profits, high. I've occasionally wondered what my old Capri 2.0L would cost these days. No central locking, no power steering, no powered windows, no aircon, no super surround sound hifi, simple engine, 37mpg etc.
