The battery-powered Think City has a range of up to 110 miles on a single charge, with a top speed of about 65 mph, company officials say. It will be priced under $25,000.
This would be groundbreaking. Tesla's sports car may have pioneered the resurgent electric car in the U.S. But that vehicle costs $100,000 and only about 300 will be built per year.

What a perfectly cute town car. I hope everyone loves them. Might spur our automakers to revive the electric car. There is hope for the environment after all.

I have seen these cars in Norway they are amazing...

these cars are tiny & ugly. gm's fully electric cars from the early 90's were bigger, cheaper, & looked cooler. the real shame in the automobile industry & the u.s. consumers is that they're eating up these hybrid cars like they don't use gas.
electric car technology has been available for decades & keeping the gasoline fueled status quo machines on the road is not a solution 2 anything!
all u drivers out there need 2 demand stylish, high quality electric vehicles right now!!! don't stop til u get hydrogen powered hummers & plugin escalades

It sounds great, in theory. But doesn't the US gov't regulate all electric cars to cap their speed at 25 mph? Sounds like a pocket full of bullshit to me (that government, that is)!
-
No, GM had great electric cars they leased out to people. They drove them everywhere just like a gasoline car. The people that had them loved them. They caved to big oil and recalled and smashed them. Time to make them bring them back.

For the last decade or so Ford has been on a massive campaign to bring the auto to China, probably not just Ford, but they've been successful, and a nation that once rode bikes is now the blessed recipient of cars all over its city streets, a growing consumer of oil products, and to top it off, their infrastructure is not built to accommodate this influx of vehicles. This is irresponsible behavior...and really very typical of the sort of thing global corporations have been guilty of for a long, long time.
There was the whole scandal over telling mothers in third world countries to stop nursing their babies and put them on formula...that was a similar disaster.
So now we have all of these electric cars coming in to the US, but whose paying attention to what Ford and the rest of the auto manufacturers are doing in the rest of the world? Not our government. We need some way to make corporations more accountable, because this influx of autos to China, in the name of the almighty profit margin, has had more to do with rising oil prices than anyone is talking about.

This is very cool, but that price is insane.
Here in San Francisco, lots of people have those Smartcar Fortwo's -- which are ultra tiny, but actually don't get phenomenal gas mileage. Plus you have to wait for them for like 6 months. Screw that.
I think I'm going to buy a Toyota Yaris, since they are only like 10,5 and are larger and more fuel efficient. But an electric future (and better, hopefully privatized, public transportation) is an exciting and necessary thing, I think.
