@John. ur welcome and lol funny way of saying it, but true. I hope it goes back to it's normal location soon. and for a Mercedes Unimog to beat all.

@ Joey, thanks for the update! That's totally lame, I was in Dakar, Senegal in 2009 and it was totally fine, I'm still alive. What's a race without a few people dying?

Seriously, take away the combustion engine and things get boring. No awesome exhaust, no turbos, no superchargers. Just imagine silent Toyota Priuses, booooooring!

The more EVs fail, like here, the quicker this stupid EV craze will go away. Smart people know for a fact that they aren't the future

Idiots Hope they completely fail

Not really an EV if it depends on gasoline for its power source, FAIL
Spencer Peirce Apr 17, 2011
Yeah I don't get that either..
Andy Rogers Apr 17, 2011
Smart cars, similar top speeds
David Bright Apr 17, 2011
Then who are they competing against?
Description: There will also be a regenerative braking system which will help the racer go for about 190 miles in light conditions. As backup, OSCar will be sending a support truck and a gas powered e3 to insure t...
