White Zombie (Datsun 1200 EV)...

I`ve read about this and have a magazine article somewhere about it.
I`m quite interested in the concept of having an old vehicle with a modern electric plant in it.
This turns up in the NE -

Electric cars have been around for a hundred years. They are nearly as old as the idea of cars themselves.

Yes, I think people are missing something here.

Namely in the shape of a cool retro Datsun that runs super quick and is electric. No one is qustioning wether on not electric cars are new, merely pointing out this great piece of home engineering to those who may have missed it.

(As to my post) No one is missing anything. No one is arguing about anything. No one is questioning anything.

You must allow for other people to make statements in support of electric car technology, yes? And so, thusly, my statements were so offered. Interestingly, you took them to be "missing something", rather than adding positively to the discussion.

For the white Nissan is at the tail-end of a century of electric car development. Not the vanguard.

I'm not arguing, or poking at your posts. You're doing that to mine.

I am also not setting myself up as the "context" bouncer of the forum.

A cool car was posted. It uses a propulsion unit about which I posted a video (of its inventor unfortunately crashing during a TV trade show interview) last year.

I pointed out that electric cars have been around for approx a hundred years.

And that irritates you? LOL

EDIT: I'll be much more careful in the future not to point out technological or evolutionary milestones.

don't forget steam, steam cars worked better than petrol ones for a while, and steam lorries were around for quite a long time, better suited for heavy loads etc etc.

Datsuns cool but i'd miss the noise of a petrol engine.
