Electric vehicles are only slow if you make them slow - http://www.teslamotors.com/ - 0-60 in 3.9 seconds - faster than the Elise, despite it carrying around half a ton of battery.I'm sure they'll get there in the end. As for being slow, don't forget that an electric motor can produce maximum torque almost immediately which means quick acceleration.
0-60 in 3.9 seconds
3.9 seconds. After that point it stops being 0-60.and how long can it do that for?
We've trialled them with great results. The first time we pursued some fleeing felons we just waitied until they ran our way and tripped them up with the flex.

In a non-straight line too. On the Top Gear test track (not the best metric, but it's one most people know about) - from http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/powerlaps.shtmlIn a straight line.
lol they cant keep up with half the cars round here anyhow what chance they got with a damn hairdryer *overtakes on a pushbike*
Only if you believe everything you see on Top Geardidnt top gear drain it in 20 mins?
But on the Hagley/Pershore/Bristol Road at 5pm on a weekday no-one is going to be flooring it, so thats where it would be more efficient than using a normal petrol engine.
