		<description>Theme :  Addressing  Range Anxieties. 
 
1.  The range of noticeable EVs are sufficient to meet the daily driving needs of  more than 95% of drivers  ((The vast majority of people (95%) drive less than 100/km a day, 82% of the respondents said they drive 40 miles or less a day, with an average daily driving distance of 27 miles.)).
  
As for long trip needs, all but Americans and many of developed nations have existing automobiles, in this regard, EVs are best suited to their daily use until the infrastructure comes into wide use.  And people are already doing that.
 
2.  The on-board IT system shows the driving radius on a maximum range display under the current state of charge and calculates if the vehicle is within range of a pre-set destination. And the navigation system points out the latest information on available charging stations within the current driving range.
 
3.  In 21st century, home, workplace, or stores etc also serve as a charge station as electricity is everywhere. With a long extension code inside,  just in case, riders can get help from almost anyplace, not to mention the stores to provide charge service, and many of EVs are equipped with a quick charger.
 
4.  Unlike fuel price, as time goes by, the price of battery is expected to drop dramatically in the foreseeable future as with computer components, in that case, mounting additional battery might be not a problem. And the EVs that come in a range of 200 to 300 miles between charges are on fast-tract toward mass-market, as Batteries become more efficient.  
 
5.  Indian EV maker Reva said it has also set about addressing anxieties about e-car range, this  fantastic wireless electricity/ &quot;instant remote recharge&quot; will be widely available down the line.
 
6.  The vehicle-to-grid communication technology is helping the battery serve as a storage to prevent the costly blackout standing at about $90 to 100bn per year. That means utilities are shedding cost for additional storage facilities and ratepayers are selling electricity during peak demand so that EVs can make more economic sense, as we know. ((The cost of running the vehicle should be 1 to 2 cents per mile, compared to 10 cents or more per mile to run a gas car. Electric vehicles require little maintenance -- no oil changes, for instance --. Better still, they can sell electricity or charge at the stores offering charge service.)) 
 
It is also in the best interest of electricity utilities that EVs are going mainstream, thereby they need to put in charge stands where needed around highways, major roads with card readers or cell phone tech.
 
7.  I&#039;m hopeful that the charge network will extend the select districts to nation-wide scale throughout the world, and this environment can usher in active private investings in EVs. And I remain confident that investing in charge stands could give rise to multiple times as much investing effect, so to speak, some billions of investing, this simple deployment, could call into the most-sought energy independence and solid recovery around the world.
 
Thank You !</description>

		<description>Intersting idea, and inevitable trend towards greener cars, but i can&#039;t imagine the joy of driving a silent eletric super car. A super car is not jus about the performance, but also the sound and the way the engine revs. Being a Gen Y kid, i just wish i can save up enough to buy a proper sports car with a petrol engine before they disappear forever. Hopefully the future will have eletric cars for everyday driving, leaving petrol powered sports car for weekend fun.</description>

		<description>lol, Maybe its electronically limited until you&#039;ve passed your space shuttle level 1 training?</description>

		<description>Its good to see more exotic EV&#039;s out there rather than the usual city runners. This will give Tesla a run for its money. A bit slow off the mark in comparison to the Tesla and the Lightning GT but a beauty to look at. Its going to come with a stiff price tag!

Did anyone else notice there were no Hydrogen cars at the show?</description>

		<description>Honestly, the more I read about electric cars the more I see them as the future of motoring, and with torque like that - bring it on.  

One day our grandkids will look back at us and laugh about the fact that we used hydrocarbons to fuel our internal combustion pollution machines.</description>

		<description>4.8 seconds is quite respectable for a 230KW car, if they may matched the acceleration to the Torque, you&#039;d wind up in hospital with the doctors reinserting your lower intestine and a professional detailer to remove the stains from the drivers seat.</description>

		<description>Thats ace, I&#039;m really waiting for the day that car don&#039;t use petrol/diesel at all. It&#039;s going to be the only thing in 20-30yrs time and with cars looking like this who gives astiff about fuel guzzlers</description>

		<description>And I&#039;d bet there is a lot of weight with 4 motors and heaps of batteries.</description>
