Ulitmate Aero EV: SSC Plans To Build World's Fastest Electric Production Car

Shelby SuperCars already has the world's fastest production car title under their belt, now they're planning to up the ante by introducing the Ultimate Aero EV: The world's fastest electric production car.

Not only is SSC claiming that they're creating the world's fastest electric production car, but they're also claiming that it'll be one of the fastest charging electric cars in the world. Their Nanotechnology Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery pack is said to take only 10 minutes for a full recharge on a standard 110 volt outlet and will grant the driver a total of 200 miles on a single quick charge. Watch out Volt, Tesla and Fisker.

10 minutes for a full recharge on a standard 110 volt outlet...

At what!? 1000amps? There is NO WAY that you could reasonably recharge this thing that fast on 110. The cables would be monstrous.

Actually I was wrong... you would need a cable that can handle around 13000amps!!! In other words, you would need a electrical substation next to your house for this to work. AND, you would need to call the power company to warn them each time you plugged in your car, so that they can be ready with the additional 1.5 megawatts that your house would draw while you charge your car.

that's a load of BS. 1.5 MW? it's probably the same amount of energy that 2-3 big screen TV's would use up.

Or 2 budget gaming computers. This is a useless record. Actually since there is near to no media on this Lambo imitation how many people have bought the ice one? I think Bugatti is extending production because of demand?

It would be drawing close to 1.5 megawatts for the 10 minutes that it is charging. The battery needs to hold 250kwh of electricity... to move that in 10 minutes (1/6th of an hour) you multiply by 6, giving 1500Kw, or 1.5Mw.
