Talk:Electric car/to do


 * Prototype electric cars should be moved here from List of production battery electric vehicles. They should go under the Prototype subheading - it's for electric cars currently under development. Facts707 (talk) 13:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Stub all the redlinks. ✅ SimonTrew (talk) 00:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC) stubbed a couple, removed a couple in references (URLs still work, no need to expect publication to be a wiki article)
 * Edit the history so that it doesn't read as if it is the history of electric cars in America. ✅ (Still America biased, but quality of the content is much improved)
 * More hard data on initial costs in comparison section.
 * Get missing costs and numbers produced into the "Selected production vehicles" table. (SimonTrew (talk) 02:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC) This has moved to article Currently available electric cars.)
 * FAC reviewer wants more sources
 * sections without any refs: Outside the US (has ext. links); Acceleration performance ✅ (1 ref); Replacing; Safety; Hobbyists, conversions, and racing (has ext. links) ✅ (3 refs); List of recent prototypes (has ext. links) ✅ (6 different refs); Controversy; and both arguments.
 * consider converting anchored external links to refs; ✅
 * wikilinks probably have good refs in them, too
 * someone else suggested at least one per paragraph! That would be about 80. (SimonTrew (talk) 00:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC) There are currently 102, though it is not 1 per para)
 * Put it through peer review again, asking in particular for copyediting help.
 * Add MPG calculated by the DoE/EPA to the site somewhere: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/byfuel/byfueltypeNF.shtml (SimonTrew (talk) 01:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC) This only runs EV up to 2003 so I think inappropriate to add.
 * add data and graph similar to page 7 in http://www.evworld.com/library/Tesla_21centuryEV.pdf to display next to sections Electric_car and Energy efficiency. Requires lots of digging, though. Purpose: show that characteristics are fundamentally different. TGCP (talk) 11:05, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * combine range and price in one diagram like this (source). TGCP (talk) 09:47, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
