This all electric car seems too good to be true. I wonder if it will live up to it's expectations. No price tag listed. I love the fact that it's a cruck (car-truck), even with living up to he hype, would the cost of electricity recharge at night be too costly? http://www.phoenixmotorcars.com/index.html

They are all "too good to be true" until they start landing in driveways. This one looks as promising as any I have seen. Maybe they can keep the price under $30K and actually sell some of them. |

Replying to: dwhatshername (Feb 18, 2008 1:05 pm) I hope you did not send them any money. My Uncle sent a deposit on a Tucker. All he got was a radio. A very expensive lesson. I like the looks of the little PU. The price would have to be around $25k for me to give it a second look. It is a local short range vehicle for picking up stuff at the store. It would be competing with my $4K 1999 Ford Ranger. Not many folks are going to plunk down $60 for that vehicle.

Replying to: dwhatshername (Mar 22, 2008 4:33 pm) PS They are only claiming 100 miles range.

Any one thought about how one would come up with a charger that put out 480 volts in the average house? And how much would it cost, and how much electricity would it use?
