Self-Build Small Electric Car Cost $420,000 To Build
A MAN claims he has created a car that might solve the world’s traffic congestion problems. Rick Woodbury from Spokane, Washington USA, is the president, founder and sole employee of ‘Commuter Cars.’ The carmaker’s flagship model is the 2005 super slim two-seater Tango T600, a high-performance electric car that preceded Tesla. Rick told us: “I started this company 21 years ago – it was based on an idea that I came up with in 1982.” He was inspired by the shocking traffic congestion he had to face on a daily basis. “I used to drive a Porsche from Beverly Hills to Hermosa Beach every day and the traffic was horrendous,” explained Rick. What really made Rick think about a solution was the fact that in most of the cars he would see in his commute were occupied by lone drivers. “I noticed that everybody around me was a single occupant in a car, taking up the whole lane,” Rick said. Living and working in Los Angeles also helped inspire Rick’s unique creation. “I thought, everyone wants to get from point A to point B efficiently, and in cities like Los Angeles there’s really no centre, there’s no hub, everybody goes everywhere,” explained Rick. For him, there is a simple solution, and that is reducing the width that vehicles take up on the road so that 2 can fit comfortably in a single lane. “I don’t think there’s any other answer except doubling lane capacity,” said Rick. With a length of 102 inches this micro car can be parked just about anywhere, just like you would with a motorbike. Rick said: “The length is the same width of a semi-truck so I can park perpendicular to the curb.”The selling point of this vehicle is that it can drive in-between cars better than any other car. “The coolest feature for me to that it can get through traffic faster than any car in history,” said Rick. Much like a motorbike, the Tango T500 can drive right up to the stop line of traffic lights.

The Cheapest Electric Car In The USA
With each passing year, electric vehicles are gaining more popularity and attention. After all, the problem of air pollution in the city is gradually being resolved as a result of their presence. However, the high cost of production does not allow the introduction of this new mode of transportation everywhere. Therefore, many automakers have staged a real race to reduce the price of an electric car. Along with such well-known brands as Nissan, Hyundai, and Tesla, little-known Chinese manufacturers Kandi and Dacia compete. The latter were able to achieve significant success, reducing the cost of an electric car to 10 thousand dollars! And today we will evaluate one of them to find out how much the price reduction has reflected on the performance of the car itself. Even though the first electric car was successfully tested in the middle of the 19th century, its growth in popularity has only recently begun. After all, earlier the production of cars with an internal combustion engine was much cheaper, and the characteristics of transport were much higher. But in 2008, Elon Musk held a presentation of his first electric car - the Tesla Roadster. #inventions #technology #car #electric If you are the author of the materials or the copyright owner of it, but your authorship was not indicated or you object to its use, please contact me: [email protected] Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epide...
