I can build you one.

Give me a budget, I will get you an electric car.

RE: I want an electric car...

All electric car technology is ready to mass produce and has been for a long time now. The technology of 100% battery electric vehicles (no petrol needed) will reduce global warming, save you money and more. Multiple choice question for anyone for why car manufacturers don't make them.

1. The technology is not good or safe enough, battery technology is still lacking.
2. The oil companies use their power to make sure it doesn't happen, as well as other alternative fuels/ideas.
3. The car makers will lose future profits through the lack of a spare parts industry, because bev's (battery electric vehicle) don't need servicing or at least very little.
4. The supply and demand is not great enough, nobody would want them.
5. The supply and demand is not great enough, because people are not told enough about them.
6. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is a better idea.

Only 2 answers above are correct, which are they?

Also would you buy a BEV and why or why not?
and stay out of it BUZ

Nonsense, just because you don't have ant exhaust fumes doesn't make the car more environmentaly friendly. The fabrication of hydrogen fuel cells is very nasty. The best bang for buck in batterypower is LiFePo4, again not exactly zero emission fabrication to use an euphemism. And the production and containment of hydrogen is still done best by chemical reaction, not by electrolysis splitting. You need 2.2Kw of energy to convert 1kw worth of hydrogen by using electrolysis splitters which in no way shape or form is efficient.

Electric cars are promising, but we need to increase efficiency first and lower the manufacturing footprint first before it is a viable alternative. Right now we have steam engines more efficient.

leo-rcc you're not reading my post carefully enough. I've bold text the 2 correct answers IMO. I'm all for BEV's and if you can solar power them up even better. I would seriously consider a conversion to Lithium Ion batteries carefully if viable.
