e85 cars.... a childish concept



apparently, these electric cars that you can plug into your garage socket through a home charger to power up have sold out their first batch of cars they manufactured.
looking through the website i find that it
- goes 0 to 60 in 4 seconds
- 250 miles between charges
- costs 1 cent per mile
as you can see from the picture the designs isn't shabby either. they worked with lotus on design and some engineering.
the drawbacks.
- the base price is about 93000 usd.
- obviously you can't just take this car to any mechanic to fix it if it breaks down.

another alternative is the toyota FT-HS concept.
