A Cheap Electric Sports Car?

March 12, 2008

Well, not exactly cheap, but it’s not $100,000 like the Tesla Roadster. Wired reports that the electric ZAP Alias will retail for around $30,000 in mid-2009.

What may not be immediately obvious is that it has three wheels. Unlike the famous Robin Reliant, the single wheel is at the back, and not the front. A projected range of 100 miles is promised with a top speed of 120mph. 2009 looks a little ambitious looking at the video - which is a computer model.

Tesla Electric Supercar To Arrive In March 08

February 20, 2008

Absent from the Detroit Auto Show, Tesla’s electric sportscar will go on sale in March 2008. At $100,000 it’s too rich for my blood, but for those who are going to buy a sportscar anyway (yeah, right), and want to do it in a more environmentally friendly way then this will soon be a reality.
