Quoted from Beechwood:I drive a '99 Tahoe. It gets 11 MPG. I never bought in to the EV hype. However, I started thinking... I can get one and charge it at work for free everyday. No more $75 a week in gas, that's $4,000 a year.
I would keep the gasser though. It gets very snowy here in the winter and it owes me nothing as I bought it for $4,000 9 years ago
Give that a tune-up, you should be getting at least 12 MPG. I had a 1999 Suburban 2500 with 454 and 4.10 gear that got that! 
Quoted from titanpenguin:When do I get my hover car? Surely we can find something better than vulcanized rubber.
I want to see us work from the plans for the 1958 Ford Nucleon. It can't get better than a nuclear-powered car.
pasted_image (resized).pngQuoted from Pinfactory2000:...in some states more than 50% of their power is nuclear so EV's in those state are majority powered by nukes!
Yes, here in Illinois I believe it is more than 50%. I hadn't thought to tie it all together, but you're on target.
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:Hooray! Shorter lines at the gas station.

Let's go full-on Triumph.

There are definitely a few classics from that time...

Any word on gas efficiency?
I don't believe anything has been published yet. The front wheels are powered by a 160 horsepower electric motor, while a 495 horsepower V8 powers the back going 0-60 in 2.5 and 1/4-mile in 10.5 seconds. From what I've seen they're thinking it will be comparable to the 16/24/19 mpg of the Stingray Convertible.
It is definitely about performance and showing what they can be done using the motor and engine, I imagine it'll be fun to drive!
