If I were going to create a freeway capable car, I would not call it the CityZenn. I'd call it the CountryZenn or the FreewayZenn.
Can you tell me how long 52kwh would last in a 'normal' situation? Also in a hot summer time?
I think that for the winter months I do not use that amount.... but in the summer I can be in the 1200 to 2000 range... air conditioning is a killer....
The interesting part is that if they do actually start to charge based on when you use electricity, then actually having someplace to easily store what you need when it is cheap and not pay the high price would be great.. I would cough up $2100 if I could cut my bills down by a big amount..
City Zen is a 4 star restaurant in DC. Do they get to fight the car name under trademark laws? I guess it would be hard to confuse cars and restaurants.If I were going to create a freeway capable car, I would not call it the CityZenn. I'd call it the CountryZenn or the FreewayZenn.

We rarely use more than 11 KWH per day.
I've seen a gasoline tanker with 8,000 gallons of gasoline go up in flames. You don't want to be anywhere near it.
A propane truck is even more impressive since it burns faster.
-ERD50A man was hospitalized Wednesday after his tanker overturned on an Interstate Highway 55 ramp near Lemont and his load of gasoline ignited and sent flames shooting into the air for hours, state police said.
Fire officials let the fire burn for almost three hours before they finally extinguished it using foam provided by the Chicago Fire Department.
God is unimpressed.
Yeah, but its really, really hard to get a tank of gas to blow up unless the car is a ford.
I must have seen 4 mythbusters episodes where they tried unsuccessfully to get gas tanks to blow up by smashing them, shooting them, and firing massive amounts of sparks into them. On one episode, they were unable to get an enclosed room full of gas and gas fumes to ignite until they exposed it to a huge open flame.
