I have zero interest in an electric vehicle unless it has range similar to a gas vehicle AND can be charged (or battery swapped) just as quickly as I can pump gas. Also, people talk about Tesla acceleration, but I never hear any lap times.
A hybrid, I might consider. A plug-in could get me to work and back on battery, but still have the gas engine for longer drives or when you really want to have fun. If it performs just as well as the current Mustang but is cheaper to drive, you have my interest. But, how much more will it weigh with batteries and motors? With motors for low end, you could change the gas engine to something smaller that revs high enough to get the same power, and that would offset a little weight but I don't know how much. How do regen brakes work on track?
I think I'd rather just keep it close to what we have, maybe going with a smaller v8 and turbos like others have suggested. I'm open to the hybrid idea, I just don't want to compromise performance and don't want to pay more money for it.
