Finally a decent Electric Vehicle.

The vid explains most of the details but here is some additional info.

- The car will cost approx $90,000US ($119,000AU)
- It is however a short run 'Sportscar' built in the UK.
- Designed by Lotus.
- Will only be sold in the U.S.
- Uses Lithium-Ion batteries.
- Takes approx 3.5 hours for full recharge.
- Range = 250 miles/400klms
- Accelerates 0-60mph/100kph in approx 4secs.
- It will operate in cold climates as it has an battery/engine heater.
- USES NO PETROL!

Kinda sad or suspicious that a small private company had to be the first ones to do this.

awesome, would definitely buy one if available here and i had the money ... and actually needed a car

but it's cool all the same!

welcome to a few weeks ago

400kms? I suppose thats 2 and from the coast twice, but, what happens if you want to drive to sydney?

pull over at a petrol station for 3 1/2 hours

well casa, you read the website and find out they have a portable charger that you can take on long drives. use the time spent charging as a rest stop.

Dude, I made another post because this vid has just been released.

Also FFS how often do you drive to Sydney?

who drives to sydney these days anyway, when flying is so cheap.

Other companies did this years ago, but the cars were only ever leased. They ended up taking them back... and crushing them into cubes.

^ Wrong again. Partly anyway. You cant compare the 2006 Tesla Roadster to the impractical, poorly engineered, pathetically marketed, ridiculous turd-looking 1996 GM EV1. No comparison I'm afraid.

^ correct

Also FFS how often do you drive to Sydney?

I dunno... once. But what happens when you do?
