Dodge Circuit EV - Electric Car

Well... at least it looks different to all the samey US cars. The back looks kinda Audi to me. I like it from the back - the front view is bland, and the side view is old. If only it wasn't such a sickening colour. Saying that, the lines aren't fantastically pleasing. Oh, and the interior is disgusting.

I notice that there's no mention of how far it will go on one tank of... juice. The Tesla cars have been advertised as going about two to three hundred miles on a single charge, but they've been found to go about fifty is the driver is careful, and around five if it's thrashed.

Electric cars are, in my eyes, quite pointless. For them to be successful a country needs to update their infrastructure and build millions of charging stations (saying that, though, it wouldn't be too bad in Canada - they've already got something similar for keeping things unfrozen... haven't they? Calling all Canadians - what actually is it?), which will be pulled down in a few years when the Hydrogen problem is sorted.

What amuses me is that electric cars are considered to be much greener than petrol cars... until you factor in the small problem of where the electricity comes from, and how many charges these cars need. 200 miles on a charge? I'd be interested to know how much fossil fuel is used to generate the electricity for a single tank, and how it compares to a single tank for a car, which, these days, can take a car about twice the distance of an electric car (well, it does for the rest of the world - the American 'gas guzzlers' probably go about 50 miles on a tank).

I doubt it'll do anything to save Chrysler. In fact, I doubt it'll ever go into production.
