If u know what a big plants run on u would see it very clean. 25MW plant makes shit loads of power with just 6 CNG gensets and poluttion is zero tonone. These single power plant can power an entire city. There is no use of moaning. If they do it the EV way then be it. we will still get same power car just with the buzz. :smile:

Hmm... Good point grayt.

What I don't understand is, electricity ain't like water eh? So power plants produce one fixed amount depending on what RPM the generators are set to. When people say "conserve" what happens to the excess power? Does it automatically lower RPM's and hence production or is it just wastage?

Its a different story that the end user pays for each watt used, innit?!!

Also, when electricity is usually produced with natural fuels, coal, etc... how does it actually differ if the government is burning it to provide converted energy as electrical to the people or if the people's cars do it themselves like internal combustion?
My point exactly.

I was referring to the coal-powered plants which quite a few countries use because its abundant in their region.EVs can give us the same performance some have built better performing machines too but it cannot replace the feel of internal combustion motors.It will be a whole new ball park for tuners,for instance the Tesla Roadster,its an EV supercar faster than your average Gallardos and SLRs and has a Brabus upgrade too which gives it a straight 10000 Kw increase by adding underbody neons and a sound module emulating the sounds of a racecar or a V8.If this is all the maestros at Brabus could come up with then thats pretty much the most you can 'tune' the EVs.
Fake engine note?Can't get gheyer than this!

Guys, also don't kid yourself and remember that it's not the car manufacturers that dictate where this is going. The energy corporations have trillions invested into oil, and you can bet they'll be protecting their investment for a long time coming, our whole lives in fact.

Well come to think about it in this context... For years and people have been investing f**k loads of cash to develop EV technology (GAY)... Now they will do what they have in power to retrieve all the money they spent on developing this technology as in finding a way to sell it for the masses..

Now the oil lords as well will do what it takes to protect their businesses so i assume they arent losing anything from it..

Remember a decade ago when GM ditched and killed their EV project which also went shortly into production.. It was the perfect compact car that it didnt need any maintenance at all other than brake pads and batteries.. Hence bad for business and makes me doubt that this new generation of EV cars is the same story..

Makes you feel how small you are while all the big elites play the world..

well i am with Boost ...

there is something called originality .. and the lancer owners just wanna be like evo ...
we hang out around shj always the wanna be's show off n think like they drive evo or something n try to race with us and what they get is to see only the taillights of our cars ;)
sorry to say but originality is some thing and trying pose as something completely different

Yes we do appritiate pplz hard work when they shows us or we see something unique or different. Seeing a powerful car like EVO on roads refreshes your eyes. You should modify your car ( lancer ) but copying a car which is already been maded is not so called hardwork, its a copy/paste button.Modify your car in your own way.

They thinks that they are making peoples fool by showing them an EVO which is not in real. Then they are worng

SORRY if i hurt you !!

i totally agree wid u guys, doing it ur way, i m also against wannabes as well, i myself hate dose ppl who compare their GT with EVo, i personally dun do tat, cuz i own a Modified LANCER GT not an evo n i want to modify my LANCER into a gud lukin and unique car not an EVO...cuz no matter wat I do to my lancer it will neva beat EVO so no point in competing with EVOs, but i can surely hav a unique lancer ryt? ;)

Rashood, once the power consumption goes down the engines/turbine rpm is going down as it all runs on automation and doesnt require any interference from human until a break down. Most is a straight flow power.

And regarding coal powerplant, then that is almost history cuz power generation is shit. They might have still some in undeveloped countries. Now me being in Bangladesh and having visited shit loads of power plants, i havent seen one that runs on diesel even. Everything is CNG and a single power plant produces 890MW. Thats alot of charged Priuses. :smile:
