When I lived out in CA at the time GM had a vehicle called the EV1 I believe this car was ALL electric. It was amazingly rad for the type of car it was in its design. This car was totally silent. Even if you put your ear up to the hood. You could try to restart it and get the unwelcome grind, I'm already running dummy sound very easily. This car like SSD's don't have platters to wind up and keep spinning, once the power hit the motor it accelerated. That car was soooooo fast it could beat a Viper off the line. Most regular cars when we were cruising around town... the light turns grreen... before EVERY other car gets out of the crosswalk you are through the intersection. That was kick ass car. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
