electric cars and power

[writersblock]

Do you think that electric cars have the power that regular cars do? All I can think of is trying to go up a hill and loosing the umph needed.

I think that they also have the power on them just like regular cars do. I fact I heard that they operational cost is less expensive compared to that of a normal car. I would love to own one of those someday.

Yes, maybe they have the same power even uphill. The only variation I can think of is the drained battery you may quickly have when stepping at the electric car accelerator very hard.

I think they have the same power. Hybrids are steps ahead in terms of fuel efficiency.

This depends on the horsepower of the engine. If they are the same, of course the power is the same.

Electricity is definitely cleaner and better for the environment but unfortunately it is still derived from oil Hopefully one day, all cars will run on non-oil based fuels.

Well, i dont think an electric has as much power as coventional cars. That is why the gasoline engine of a hybrid is used to start the vehicle or when it is stopped. The electric engines is used to give momentum to the car when power need is low.
