The cost of electric cars around the world is quite high. But there are always exorbitant heights to reach!
The Rinspeed XchangE super electric car, produced jointly by the Swiss company Rinspeed and American Tesla Motors, managed to reach the cost of 3 million dollars. Petrol analogues, of course, there are more expensive. But it is still an electric car!
For this money, it is able to speed up to a hundred in 6.1 seconds and move at 210 km/h, producing 421 horsepower. It should be noted that the speed of the car is forcibly limited so as not to provoke accidents.
The electric car is an autonomous concept car, offering a new perspective on travel. The steering wheel, located in the central part of the panel, can be used by the driver, but the car assumes autonomous driving, without a driver.
The electric car is in constant communication with the LTE network, where all information about the technical condition of the vehicle and driving parameters is continuously transmitted.
Inside, the car is equipped so that the cabin with a wave of the hand turns into a comfortable meeting room and office, allowing you to display any information on large monitors. Trivial things like a coffee machine in the cabin and a Swiss Patravi TravelTec wristwatch, enclosed in a transparent rotating sphere as a design element, we can not even mention…
The cost of the standard, let it be also tuned version of the Tesla Model S, which has become a prototype for Rinspeed XchangE, is much more modest – only 206 thousand dollars.
But when it comes to operation, electric cars turn out to be expensive at the beginning and budget-friendly afterwards.
The cost of gasoline compared to electricity is terrifyingly huge. The average gasoline consumption for a car for 100 kilometers is 10 liters (about $10), while electricity costs only $0.5 for the same stretch of road.
And with the active promotion of “green” cars, changing the policies and laws of different countries, the time is not far off when it will look much more budget-friendly to buy an electric car than a classic car with an internal combustion engine.
