New Trends: Cars that Plug into your Surge Protector
Electric cars are slowly starting to replace high end automobiles as Jaguar C X-75, BMW, Tesla, GE Watt Stations, and Volvo all begin massive investment on electric car development. Now it's Audi's turn. The all new Audi E-Tron R8:
- Cost: $200,000
- 313 Horsepower at peak
- 3319 pounds/feet of torque
- 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds
- weighs 1212 pounds
- store 53 KWh of energy
- charges in 6 to 8 hours using a 220V outlet
- goes 150 miles on a single charge
As Audi releases its all new electric sports car, a clear trend in the auto industry is starting to develop. Electric is the way of the future, and in retrospect, always has been. We looking at movies that have depicted the future, Demolition Man, Total Recall, The Sixth Day... electric cars are being used. Since the green car revolution is very new, critics and the media are skeptical to call the future of the automobile industry an electric one, but the money being invested by the major car companies listed above proves a steady trend towards electric cars.
