Nothing better than the rumble of a late 60s big block Mopar.

this EV we will probably NEVER EVER see here in The Netherlands.

too brash....too "loud" ..........

and I love it.

Love the looks.  Not looking for electric but willing to try if it looks like that and the price is reasonable [ha ha]. 

@carsman1958 I agree John.

I like the looks.  For what my opinion is worth, probably less than a cup of coffee, but I feel comfortable that electric vehicles are going to be a short term fad.  They'll try to shove them down our throats as the "Next Best Thing", but I feel fairly confident that until all of us true car lovers are under the sod, EV's will not take over.  And I'd put any money on it after that either.  

I guess one has to decide whether performance is about speed and handling or noise. For those who want quicker times and better handling, EVs have the advantage.

For several years I worked with many large power companies in (USA) our country and must admit that I am shocked by the push for electric cars. Simply stated , the  existing power grids in this country are not equipped to support the numbers being thrown out about how many cars will be totally electric replacing ICUs( internal combustion engines). Oh, as a side note, in 1956 I owned a 1910 Detroit Electric.

@bob-jackman, Wow! Tell us about the Detriot Electric. How was it to drive?

@jkuvakas  Since my ownership goes back some some 60 plus years the details are not as clear as they might be. What I do remember is that motor was powered by four six volt batteries in series for a total of 24 volts. When the company marketed the car when new, they claimed mileage on a full charge as being 80 but I cannot attest to that as batteries even into the fifties weren't all that good. I do remember driving the car to a show after fully charging the batteries and ran out of power after about fifteen miles. A recollection I do recall was how quiet the car was with the exception of the chain drive. Had the car had a gas motor I might not have heard the whirring of the chain. My car did not have a speedometer so I have no idea how fast I might have had the car but thirty miles per hour would have been scary with mechanical brakes only on the back wheels. Another recollection I have of my car was the curved glass on either side of the windshield which was surprising back in the day. I believe they called my coupe a Brougham.

@bob-jackman, fascinating. I imagined range would be a problem. What a treat it must have been, to own something from the beginning of an era.
