Would you have an electric car if you had the money for a new car and were in the market for one?

Wait, what, a bullpup design, a magazine but no grip and a belt feed on top but with no trigger

I like the idea but the reality sounds gash, it can only run for 20 minutes and then it needs charging, plus they've used the large chassis and it has no luggage space anymore because of fitting everything in.v8-powered wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 8:41 am One for @Potter ?

At the moment my 210bhp, 500kg Caterham (small chassis) will beat it in just about every department, plus I can put enough luggage into the boot for a weekend away with me and the missus...or easily enough to do a trackday in comfort including tools and camping chairs.
At the moment it seems like just an expensive concept car that no one would buy.

The really big reason for things like EV Caterhams is noise.
It's the dullest of dull reasons of course, but noise is the number one reasons race tracks get either restricted, shut down, or not even built in the first place.

Nearly right: it's an expensive concept that they're not making yet.
It's a technology experiment to see if the concept is valid or not.

All they do is share links from other sites. Feel free to counter the report about the buses.
