I came across this hybrid E82 from tuner, its an electric sports car that offers no grunt thst we all to familiar from BMW, would you buy one?

 

[Twinz]

A brilliant car that. I test drove it last month but have not had time to write a review.

You wont believe the power it makes. Handles like a typical BMW...fantastic progression....

And yes, i would buy one. Fuel or no fuel consumption on the full electric versions - is beyond belief raise:

 

[Rayzor]

It depends on how efficient it is and if its accommodated in SA. dont wanna wake up one morning and find my car wont start cause the cables were stolen.
:biglol::biglol::biglol:

You can charge it at your house :thumbs:

Still plenty to be done in terms of infrastructure development & building consumer confidence in the hybrids & full electric cars but its the future. Once the i8 hit our roads and lay down QM times and pounch on the GTRs then we will want them...in fact we should not even bother because the full electric supercar i8 planned for release next year is already sold out...:inlove:

@Twinz, where did you test drive it bud? i personally think that these will be cool, i just hope that they develop one that has a sort of "boost" feel to it.

 

[Twinz]

In George/oudshoorn on invite of BMW SA.

The full electric Actives have endless boost feel to it. Power climbs from 0 - to the end of the odometer clock in a couple of seconds...it only stops when you take your foot off the accellerator. The power buildup is scary because it is so quick...you will have tons of "boost" without the boost leaks :=):

 

[Jeremy]

aaaah ok that sounds awesome, i cant wait to test drive one of these.

 

[moranor@axis]

electric cars are coming if they here to stay im not sure but they are interesting...

especially if you look at the torque vectoring possibles with multiple motors :rollsmile:

 

[Rayzor]

Twinz were is that review thread you promised :bat: :rollsmile:

 

[Twinz]

Ai man...I know...there has been a couple of crises on and off the forum so hopefully I can focus again in a weeks time :idea:

Will this be Wise option with Eskom crazy tariffs :fencelook:

 

[milu]

Will this be Wise option with Eskom crazy tariffs :fencelook:

That is what i was thinking:thumbdo:

 

[moranor@axis]

if you look at the charge costs of a car you will see that even i eishkom go mad it still cheaper than petrol...

 

[MikeR]

:fencelook: so what will it cost to charge / km, and how much will it cost for replacement battery when that ones up.

If you can't JB4 it then what's the point!?? :biglol:

Jokes aside, it's an amazing piece of tech this. Read a bit on it and everyone that's experienced it is astonished at the usability and performance it gives while still feeling like a car and not a gadget! Impeccable BMW
