I don't know about the life span, but i was talking of the autonomy of the batteries. The actual CR-Z electric motor only holds 20kms on full usage (something like that). And the recharging isn't exactly quick, from empty to full. But i guess that with track usage, the braking could compensate the extra power of the electric motor, autonomy wisesaxophonias wrote:tha batteries get charged everytime you use the brakes. The life span of them though isn't known. I have heard somewhere that every ten years they need maintainance.

Re: CR-Z
have a look here! Bisimoto introduced a turbocharged 1.5 crz version for the SEMA exhibition. It maintains the battery system and it is claimed to have equal or even better mileage than stock! It performs 533hp. It is amazing. Read carefully what Bisi says and what are his intentions for the development of the hybrid system.

This is a tuning sweep of the the most powerful street hybrid in the world: the Bisimoto CRZ. Making over 533 hp and 330 ft/lbs of torque, the 1.5 litre Bisimoto CRZ hybrid retains all the drivability, economy, and reliability of the stock engine, but with full Bisimoto internals, can withstand the rigors of high horsepower. Items on board include, but are not limited to, Bisimoto level 2.4 cam, Bisimoto springs and retainers, AEM Series 2 EMS, Turbonetics Billet 64mm turbo, BOV and wastegate, Arias pistons, Bisimoto steel rods, golden eagle intake, 70mm tb, ngk spark plugs, 1000cc injectors, custom Bisimoto turbo manifold, Bisimoto TiO2 wheels, rywire haness, Action clutch,/ Falken Azenis tyres, and torco oil.
The vehicle was designed for all around fun: street, road course and drag. The AEM boost/speed function allows for low boost settings at lower speeds, and then unleashes amazing power in long#65279; straightaways. The turbo sizing allows for excellent torque characteristics. If a pure drag car, I would have opted for a much bigger turbo!

Re: CR-Z
Do we actually see Bisi in the pictures? Really nice car he made, kinda steels the show to me of the 12 Cr-Z's that were pimped.
