I mean.. it's not for many of us (myself included).
However I do think it's pretty bad ass. I am all for R&D. |

There's no way to know how much power it's actually generating without more info. I just wish there was more info. :/ |

Just so you guys know, all this hybrid electric BS doesn't make sense. I rather burn coal in my car, then someone burning coal to make electricity and then using electricity. Making electricity at its best systems is like 7% of its original energy. Who actually ends up doing more damage?

I've always dreamed I would do this to my BRZ when it becomes old, hopefully in 20 years I still have her and the battery tech is quite advanced that switching to electric is considered an upgrade rather than a compromise

I for one hate going to the gas station and spending $40 everytime I fill up. It's inconvenient and spending. It would be so much easier to spend $1 and simply plug my car in when I get home or at work or at the grocery. I don't like hybrids because I still have to go to the store and it will use lots of gas still since it they only go a minimal amount of miles before needing gas (prius plug in, volt, fisker, etc). Saving $1500-$2500 on gas a year would be super.
Electric 86 for the win! And Telsa as well if it didn't cost me so much. City smog would be an afterthought if all cars were electric. :happy0180:

One of the biggest issues with electric car is and always will be the upfront cost will be higher vs gas cars. Are you willing to spend a little more now to save the rest of it's life or spend less now and spend more constantly over time (not just gas but also many more parts to fail). Many brain studies have shown people will spend less now vs more now. If there was an 86 in both electric and gas versions with the electric costing $5k more and both had similar performance, I would go electric every time. You'd recoup the $5k in gas alone in the first 2-3 years.

This is exactly what I plan to do with my Dad's '87 MR2 whenever he decides to sell it to me - after it spends a few years with a Blacktop 20v.
