SSC Ultimate Aero EV Further Details Revealed
January 22, 2009
Well I agree that the claims SSC is making are rather unbelievable. I think that no matter which way you slice it EVs are the future and concievably not even just an intermidiate step between internal combustion engines and the next big thing. Even hydrogen vehicles can be considered EVs in that they use their hydrogen to power electric motors. Furthermore EVs need not have shorter ranges or less driving pleasure, they just do at the moment as todays batteries are simply no where near what is needed for an EV that rivals a modern car in terms of range and driving experience. However, that is not to say that higher performance betteries that are lighter than the ones we use today are not achievable as there has simbly been no need for them to date. Electric motors are already outperforming internal combustion motors now we just need to have a viable light weight energy storage system to power them.
