Looks like it could be a lot of fun for TEN MINUTES.
Electric cars and vehicle's are the way of the future as soon as they build a power source or battery that can provide enough power to equal a tank of gasoline.

We debated that years ago when it was built. I get it.
But what happened to it?

Wow, pretty interesting. When I looked at the article, it says only an hour of running time - 30 minutes of idle and 30 minutes at 70 mph with blasts to an estimated top speed of more than 110 mph—with adequate power in reserve. Then it said about hours of recharge time. It takes a lot of power to move a boat in water, especially at speed. I wonder if things have improved with battery technology since this was developed?

So do you play the big blocks on the stereo or go stealth? I would run the Hot for Teacher Youtube sound clip over and over.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sPBpp5rZkQ
