hr369 Posted December 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 13, 2014 the aluminum air batteries need to be changed yearly according to the article. that could get expensive. notice it gives noapproximate replacement cost. i love the idea using 2 types of batteries. one a workhorse and the other reserve.

psdenno Posted February 25, 2015 Share #5 Posted February 25, 2015 To me, half the pleasure of motorsports are the sounds! Enough said alright!!? I think a lot of people watch just for the crashes, but may not admit it. There was talk at one time a few years ago of having electric cars make an artificial amplified noise so pedestrians would be aware of them if crossing a street without first looking both ways. You're correct in noting silent racing wouldn't be as fun for most of us as a spectator sport. But, I'm sure there are hearing impaired (deaf) individuals who love to go to the races.Dennis Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50435-long-range-electric-car-batteries/#findComment-464396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
