No electrics for me, thank you Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Thu, 7 Jun 2012 09:17:07 In Reply to: Electric vehicles appearing on scene, westernny, Thu, 7 Jun 2012 09:01:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The battery technology is just not ready for prime time except for some limited uses.
Hybrids are of course more practical and might make sense for a new car buyer with an extensive warranty covering everything. However, since I buy used Saabs I am not interested in dealing with a complex hybrid drivetrain and an expensive battery pack that will have no warranty. So assuming NEVs actually did purchase Saab I wish them every success but don't see myself driving a post-bankruptcy electric or hybrid Saab at any point.
