Electric Cars Reviews


Lightning GT

This sleek, luxury, high-performance 2-door roadster from Peterborough, UK-based Lightning Car Company is heart-stopping. It is expected to go into production in late 2008 for British consumers first.

eBOX

The eBox is simply a Toyota Scion xB 5-speed that a consumer has purchased then brought to ACP for conversion to an electric vehicle. ACP removes the internal combustion engine and its parts and they replace it with a ACP electric drive system and battery, made to order.

Wrightspeed X1

A one-time employee at Tesla Motors, engineer Ian Wright took an Ariel Atom roadster and modified it with an all-electric powertrain to create the superfast Wrightspeed X1.

Tesla Roadster

In the realm of electric cars—actually, in the realm of automotive transportation—the Tesla Roadster is a quantum leap forward, combining the breathtaking beauty of a classic roadster with advanced technology to make her agile and responsive, green and efficient…

Aptera Typ-1

The Aptera, registered as a motorcycle, is an inspiration. A three-wheeled two-seater with some space in the back, to look at it alone opens the floodgates on a deluge of Sci Fi imagery.

ZAP-X Crossover EV

Santa Clara, CA based ZAP (Zero Air Pollution), makers of the spectacularly unexciting Xebra Electric Sedan and Truck, got wise and hooked up with Lotus Engineering, and the result is the ZAP-X Crossover EV, a vehicle with so many amenities it’s got luxury—and more than a bit of skepticism—written all over it.

2008 Electrum Spyder

Thousand Oaks, California-based UEV first unveiled its Electrum Spyder at the 2006 Santa Monica Alternative Car Expo. The company hopes to have the sleek if boxy (is that possible?) 2-seat convertible available in 2008 in a limited capacity, although they—like everyone it seems—have run into some delays.

Phoenix Motorcars SUT

Phoenix Motorcars capitalizes on technology breakthroughs which eliminate previous deficiencies in battery and drive-train performance. The result: all-electric vehicles with performance similar to gas- or diesel-powered vehicles without the polluting by-products.

Myers Motors NmG

Ohio-based Myers Motors’ NmG (“No More Gas”) is a single passenger, highway-legal vehicle with a fully enclosed cockpit, two front wheels and a single back drive wheel.

ZENN Car

The Canada-based company has been unable to bring its vehicle to local markets due to a variety of issues regarding low-speed vehicles, but this looks as though it may be changing soon. For the time being, marketing strategies for the ZENN Car will focus solely in America.
