yeah batteries and cells in general have a much shorter life expectancy than a combustion engine, and create alot more pollution, and requre alot more energy and materials to create.
Lol.
All I know is I can get 800km out of a 65L tank from my Hilux. And it tows my drift car well enough... I definately get it now.

Electric cars are good for city use and in a few years you will see more and more of them. Some only cost 80c to charge up for a 150-200km range. We need to get off the reliance off oil, electricity prices are much more stable and cheaper.
Petrol and Diesel powered cars will still be here for a while so no need to worry about performance.
In europe diesel in most cases is cheaper by a fair bit, thats why there are heaps of diesel cars.
I Australia we need to concentrate on having more LPG and electric cars since we have huge amount of coal and gas reserves.
On this topic- spend enough money on any propulsion technology and it will hammer, lol
Also massively off topic- we need to invest in nuclear power, the only way we will clean up our act without affecting our economy.
do you know how much energy and cost is involved in producing a battery, id rather drive a car knowing it will be around for another 20 years than drive an electric car that the batteries need to be replaced in every 3 or so years. Not to mention the pollution made transporting the raw materials across the ocean, the factory, etc,
charging up on a wall just means the pollution comes out at a coal station, if there was nuclear energy it might almost make sense but there isnt, and there wont be for a long time in australia.

Did you know there is no safe way to dispose of a battery. Theyre like termites with no pest controller.
So long as there is oil i will use it, only because its the lesser of 2 weevils. Some newer diesels are no better than they were 20yrs ago. Nissan are a prime example.
This is correct.
I haven't read the thread, btw.
Modern passenger diesels are quite good these days. Turbodiesel astras are good fun
This is all the input i have to offer.
K.
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
Why would you throw the batterys out, wouldnt you just rebuild them like they do with electric pallet jacks etc?
yeah but the stuff inside em still gets turfed
