Electric car

[Nasanna]

I was pulling out of work the other day and saw one of these driving by (only it was purple):



I'm pretty sure this is the kind of car it is, and it turns out that it's an all electric car that has a top speed of 76 mph and a 30 mile range... not quite as good as our gasoline powered cars, but I thought it was pretty interesting. Plus it takes up to 8 hours to charge the batteries. Hopefully they can work up something a little better- the spec page says that the 13 batteries weighs about 600 pounds. The site did say that you could get about 1000 miles on $20 of electricity
