Evija battery

[rocketian]

Thought I might buy an Evija - then thought, perhaps not, because after I had sold my house and everything I posses to fund it - there would be nowhere to plug it in.

But then I started thinking.....2000hp that is 1500kW (near as dam it) and it has a 70kW/hr battery, so if I am using all the 2000hp I will use the battery up in 70/1500 hours, that is 0.047 hours or 2 mins and 48s.  I do realise that driving it at full throttle for a couple of minutes would require a very long road like the land speed record track in at Hakskeen Pan in South Africa.

But seriously is a 2000hp car with a 70kW battery really viable??

I'll let you know when my order arrives

You can park your Evija in my front drive next to the Europa instead of the Merc. Free charging. But I will have to 'charge' rent for the small nylon tent for yourself.....

The car is really a showcase to get the Lotus name out there and on the front covers of magazines IMHO, it showcases what they can do, people who can afford it probably wont even drive it much but just add it to their garage collection.

It’s gonna have to have very good regen to get round the ring!

Give me lanteryu's Europa anyday, I have a proper soft spot for those!
