Re: Electric car engineering issues
10-12 Grand?? Not right now, although hopefully soon.
For a 200 mile range you need about 50Kw battery.
That alone would run well over 12k. Closer to 30-40k.
Now, in the future I would expect that to come down. Tesla's model S is planned to come in with a range of 160 miles for a total cost of $50k. While it is much closer to a reasonable price than the Roadster that is currently being sold, it is still a ways from affordable.
