www.crunchgear.com/2010/07/27/by···an-leaf/Its says it has a max speed of 90mph, I dont think its turnpike worthy. Although 100 miles is estimated. Zero emission is a fantasy does the electricity just magically appear without a coal fire, gasoline, or nuke plant ?
Electricity is much cheaper to generate than gasoline and produces less emissions. Zero emissions means from the car. Not to mention removing our dependence on foreign oil.
As far as the top speed, that doesn't matter. An electric engine generates thousands of pounds of torque from 0 RPM, so acceleration is outstanding. For example, the Leaf can 0-60 in 6 seconds ...
I think you need to drive on NJTP, 60 is standing still, never mind the truck lanes. Tell me how do you produce large amounts of electricity without gas , coal, or nuke ? Its not feasible. There are no hydro-electric plants being built, because of environmentalism.
Not real enviromentalist but NIMBY's
