I am very hyped for this, but what about some real DMC-12 owners? What are your thoughts on DMC's new delorean?
It has 260 HP with a top speed of 125 mph, and it's electric! Looks like a classic D but a new interior I think. So, thoughts!😄

Steve Rice has a daily commute of 70+ miles. This car would never work for him.Originally Posted by CEOofawesome
On another note, none of these EV cars would be able to make it to DCS under their own power.

I love the idea behind it. And if it were something with insane hp and a bit better range, it wouldn't be bad. But I'm the end, I myself just wouldn't buy one. It's nothing against DMCH, or politics, but rather the price of the batteries. You can overhaul an engine, but batteries are a consumable part, and astronomically expensive to replace. I know that those batteries will one day fail and need replacement. I just don't like the idea of a ticking financial bomb that will blow my car up into a money pit. Be it a DeLorean, a Prius, Volt, or anything else.

Yah, I think the batterie only lasts 7 years. And at about $100,000 it might be better to keep $50,000 dollars and buy a normal DMC-12.

Well, DMCs stats sheet on their website says that the battery will last 7 years...

Really.... "Batteries" are not $100,000 or $50,000... The CAR costs a lot.. but it is NOT the price of the batteries....

I meant the DMC-Ev costs $100,000 and a normal D costs about $50,000 used form DMC. But yah, I agree for the most part with you.
