Re: lazybones
I didn’t think it was going to happen,& I didn’t want to sound like a parrot.
I liked this part, & was quoted similar today.
“Global warming is a natural cycle by the way.”
Well the sun is natural, Co2 is perfectly natural so i guess you’d be right.

Mitsubishi Motors, what percentage of the i-MiEV is recyclable?

Big ask for lousy range. Electric cars won’t be main stream until they can reduce the charge time and/ or offer better range.

Goodluck to them for bringing this tech to market.

Hi Paulo, H2 requires over double the amount of energy than charging a car to go the same distance. The oil companies have been backing H2 because over 80% is made from reforming Natural Gas & Steam into H2. You’d be better of in a CNG car.

” in Australia the energy to power electric cars is made mainly by …. are you ready? …… oil and coal burning power stations.”

“We are still burning coal to generate the electricity to charge these things in Oz. Ironic”

There you go Swampdawg, we didn’t have to wait that long now did we

there is something about the front of that car which reminds me of the “bomberman” game…

I don’t see spending over A$40K on such a small car is environmental friendly.

I assume Mitsubishi do need that much money to make a proper margin. That means this car costs a lot to build. If that is true, it is not environmental friendly at all, because anything “green” should be economical in terms of design, build, run and maintain, a complete circle instead just producing less CO2.

At least EV ownership would support local energy suppliers and not foreign owned oil companies who dictate how much you will pay for fuel.

BTW, Where is the Ecommodore Holden? built before 2000 and still no sign of it it was supposed to be on sale about now.
