Vooltz electric sports car preliminary design parameters.
Vooltz electric sports car design inspiration.


Here are all the reasons we can think of as to why a person should not buy an electric car. Please submit any other reasons via confidential message (we don't collect any of your personal information).

Vooltz's plan was
to make electric classic-style sports cars inspired by the iconic 1957/58 Porsche Speedster and sell them from inventory.

That's now thrown out due to too many problems with electric cars.

The number one reason is that there is too much acceleration. Most varieties seem to feature 0-60 mph times in the 4 to 5 second range. Quite a few are faster than that even, with some under 2 seconds.

People used to driving gasoline cars may be thrown off by the much faster pickup, making them more accident prone. Passengers may get sick, even to the point where you have to stop and let them get out for awhile. The driver's vision may not be able to keep with increases in speed. And because you can go so much faster, you might collect more traffic tickets.

Anxiety. The comfort of knowing that you will have to take your car to the dealer or garage for periodic service is gone. There are no oil/filter changes. Most electric cars have service intervals in the 4-year range to check or change the battery cooling fluid and brake fluid. There are

No noise. Quiet.

Little brake wear.

No exhaust.

May put you in the "green" camp, dangerously close to the woke camp.
