Flybo Comet and new concepts of urban vehicle

[abyssin3]

Here is a new concept electric car: the Flybo Comet.
It looks like the Carver, but with 300Km of autonomy and 160Km / h peak.

It's beautiful but how much will it cost (if it ever happens on the market)?

However, I find it hard to understand this:

Its autonomy before recharging the batteries: 300 km.

I put the links of the "competitors":
VW-GX3 (hum hum it is rather a roadster)
Carver un BMW C1 improved?

I like three-wheeled vehicles: when you're trying to avoid a pothole, you're sure to take it with the middle wheel!

Hello

Another thing also caught my eye on this page.
This is the link to the concept car 700hp electric
It uses nanotechnology batteries that I talked about a while ago here.
Targol talks about it too here.
10min of charge for 400km of autonomy.
Glad to see that fiction meets reality, I'm waiting to see what will give a small car like the Flybo with such batteries. 800km for 10min of charge it would really be the foot.
Too bad the prototype presented here is equipped with a petrol engine

Its autonomy before recharging the batteries: 300 km
= Its autonomy [before we have to recharge] the batteries

By cons for nanotechnology batteries, in my opinion they will not sell them right away. If lithium batteries sell, they will sell as many as possible before switching to nanotech. In this way, they will have a commercial argument to sell in a second time new, more powerful electric vehicles.
Too bad because it would be ideal, ditto for super capacitors that would be ideal for hybrids.

I read an article about the future of batteries. In fact, Li-ion batteries will still exist for a few years, but batteries with hydrogen cartridges and nanotubes will replace them very quickly. Logically the first mini PAC will arrive on the market around 2010. But they will be contemporary with LI-ion batteries because you should know that recharging the mini PAC should cost around € 10 per recharge for 1 month of autonomy (according to the article).

Uh a little HS but I have a doubt concerning the subject:

Do you confirm that NiCd batteries (finally rechargeable batteries) are prohibited for sale?

700hp electric that fits in there .... I had to miss a step. Where I worked before there was an engine of about 1000hp but which made a cube of 2 to 2.5 m stop and x tonnes ....

A+

Same remark on vehicles with 3 wheels, the efficiency of the transmission is improved by the elimination of the differential but the comfort of driving loses potholes, lying gendarmes and other accidents on the ground become difficult to avoid. I speak of it all the better since I tried yesterday recumbent tricycles (with pedals).

By cons I found the American declination project Venture One Much more attractive than the flybo.

that makes me think of clever.

There is indeed a flowering of 3-wheeled vehicles ...
