In other words, you're going to need to replace a very expensive component once every two years or so.

]]> <![CDATA[Subaru R1e Electric Car: It's A Me, Mario!]]> I hate myself for doing it, but I absolutely love this car.

Good looking, useful, nice interior and charges in the same time it takes you to pump a tank of gas.

You still wouldn't catch me driving one though.

]]> <![CDATA[Subaru R1e Electric Car: It's A Me, Mario!]]> There is an untold story here. Seems Ford used to own a big chunk of Subaru which it sold because of its financial problems. Along with the company went the rights to the lithium-ion batteries. Oops.

@RoninianHoon: Yup!

]]> <![CDATA[Subaru R1e Electric Car: It's A Me, Mario!]]> does if have full-time four wheel drive?

If not, it's not a Subaru.

]]> <![CDATA[Subaru R1e Electric Car: It's A Me, Mario!]]> How on earth did they manage the two-minute charge? Charging even the best lithium cells in thirty minutes is considered to be a last-ditch bad idea.

If Subaru can pull this off, they've gone and solved the electric car. And because it's a Subaru, it will (hopefully) be reliable.

I do like the Mitsubishi i car better, however. Despite being the same size, it's got four doors. Then again, it runs on normal gas.
