Nuclear would be great, as long as there is not another Chernobyl. 
Looks like you left a few spots in the words mate, looks good-ish.. overall. Blending needed.
Mhhm, okay. Wind turbines, hydro powered, nuclear... I'm going through a list of just how many sort of power stations there are. Not all of them are ran off fossil fuels.
Then again, your theory explains gas prices.

Thank you Goblox, you've made that very easy to understand, let's just hope the diehard combustion boys get it. 
Just like we went from having to get up a hill in reverse using combustion engines - make them better. Or.. just get better sources of electrical power. There are thousands of little strands we can play with and tinker for ideas tristan, use that big brain and money power to figure some out.
No Xaotik, it's a different concept. The "cover" over the ground is like a furnace to gather it then it goes up to the tower, where it does whatever it does.

There you go Tristan. Now come on man. It's a crap idea that anything we use is using our resources, period. But we got too, it's essential. It wouldn't be as bad as you think, I certainly wouldn't mind putting around town in one, at least.
Tristan... these are not quiet. http://youtube.com/watch?v=63MueEdFx_Y

English isn't too bad, better than some here.
And a very well-made point, Piilu!Oooh, ouch. Okay, didn't know you two had a history. But hey man, things might be better about EV than you might think. Already there is a tower that is going into development somewhere, forgot where, that uses heat to generate electricity. There will be five of them, and it's thought to be able to produce enough power to produce enough electricity to run a city if I remember correctly, I'll get the youtube video later demonstrating how it works. All I remember is that it is TALL. World Trade Center is nothing compared to that thing.. it's humongo.

Looks like you're grumpy, don't gotta be so mean to the guy. But that's something we learn as a kid, should be a lesson well learned.You're a demo racer, what would you know of how LFS works? 
The rev limiter is something built into the engine, you probably want a bouncer I'm guessing, so just tap your ignition key repeatedly when you're at the high-end of your RPM range.

If LFS were to have a commercial, I'd have this be the opening, black out then it says "Welcome to the Track" then Step Into S2 just bashes into existance.
Well folks, what we've witnessed here today was an internal combustion fanatic raving about electrics being horrible, just like alot of AMERICANS do, so how about we get back to the question of converting the Raceabout to a proper electric car?
Tristan, you do realize that there are motors designed to run off one or the others, right? Since you are the battery expert and all.
Since when do all electric engines have computers? Gav's EV used a cheap motor and still got wheelspin in first gear.
Don't forget, they usually mount to a transmission, automatic or manual.\Respect for you and all Tristan, but... it sounds to me like you're talking about solar panels. EV's can run off regular car batteries. Or you're just being plain, outright stubborn! An electric motor can run off DC, and or AC depending.. so stop being so stubborn, they're not thousands of dollars. Christ sake, my push lawnmower was converted to electric, using an old alternator and a car battery.
PS: It's the extremely high grade batteries you'll spend money on, like that Hydra blah, whatever it is and Lithium-Ion.. come on, get real.
That's maybe 300 apiece.

Reason : Batteries
The big difference is, Tristan, that the batteries are rechargable and don't need to be disposed of unless you ruin a cell, even then there are some batteries out there that automatically contain that cell and keep the juices flowing. No harm, no foul. I don't see why you're being so feisty about an electric RAC.. to be honest, I'd find that much torque in such a light car, actually, a -LIGHTER- car considering the electric engine is quite light in comparison, to be very entertaining!
Of course the transfer over to EV's will be slow, and it will have problems. But the whole point of them is to try and cut back on fossil fuel use. Of course, it was just like the original four-wheeler for farmers, I'll quote a Brit that it took the young generation of the world to think what if they had really big engines? The original EV motors were slow, and wasteful, I'll admit to that.
Ok, now! What would be the disadvantage of it, at least a test in LFS? Instant power, no lag when it comes to power. I'd say that would make some very interesting races between guys like you that are used to driving close and fast.

Sounds like an idea for the next Veyron.
Well, Tristan.. I recall there being a very popular New Zealand guy on Youtube that converted his car to EV, tracked his progress over 8 months.

I've watched his videos, and I've also been doing research myself. It's not as bad as you make it out to be.

Doesn't lower profile tires also give less tirewall flex/bend? I'd assume that'd be helpful in keeping a nice contacy patch... *shrug*
Wow, talk about a buzz killer... reading those replies kinda killed it. 
I think that'd be a great idea for fun! :drunk:
I think that'd be a great idea for fun! :drunk:Very dead, heck.. PhysX is built into alot of newer video cards.
One problem Primoz, that's a GTR. The point is a road car, with more than 18 degrees of lock, high power, AWD, and nice tires as far as I can tell.
So, who else doesn't care that 720 closed, and re-opened?
