Electric Saturn Sky Conversion

[ebristol]

With gas at $4/gallon and a typical Sky gets approximately 30mpg you would have to drive that car 187,500 miles to get your $25,000 back. And that does not include the added cost to your electric bill to recharge the batteries.

Its a cool idea but still not practical for most people.

I'll go ahead and be the first prick to say it's not fast enough

Doesn't really say how it charges, but it does say you charge it at home, so I assume you just plug it in. I was just curious about taking longer trips in the car, how would you re-charge after 150 miles on the road...

Extension cord... A big one!!!

If it uses 110 to charge you could charge it almost anywhere w/ an extention cord.

That's what I was thinking, but didn't see any info on that, or the rate of charge. It would kinda suck if you had to wait a couple hours to get it fully charged.

I agree with Tibb...not fast enough, but for something to cruise in with the top down to make a statement, not bad.

Can't say if I had $50k it would be one of the first things on my mind but still...

If I wanted a hybrid I'd buy a prius for a lot cheaper as a DD. But the sounds of a quick all electric Sky would be fun...but not the price in the long run. I agree with ebristol
