100 km / h in 3 seconds: electric car made of fiberglas

The company introduced the PG in Berlin, the world's first electric car, which develops 100 km / h in less than 3 seconds.

Electric sports PG Elektrus differs from most mass-produced electric vehicles concentration of many expensive technologies that will create a set of interesting features.

The car, which reaches a top speed of 300 km / h, equipped with a reliable asynchronous electric motor 268 hp high torque of 350 N / m. The high-tech lithium-ion battery provides high voltage motor (480 V) and has a capacity of 54 kW / h, which provides a cruising range of 350 km. This is a two and a half times more than the production of compact electric vehicles, which have a cruising range at 120-150 km. From the outlet 380 battery charges in just 4 hours, and from the household mains 220 V - 8 hours. At the rear is PG Elektrus solar panel that recharges the battery "gratuitous" energy or fuels music system and interior lighting.

Large stock of progress and outstanding acceleration performance is achieved largely thanks to a specially developed body. It is made of fiberglass, which, despite the heavy battery, reduced weight PG Elektrus to 786 kg.

High performance electric car once again prove that the electric body needs new technology as traditional heavy metal enclosure significantly reduces the travel distance per battery charge.

Unfortunately, high performance two-seater also reflected in its price: at a cost of about 370 thousand dollars PG Elektrus unlikely to become a mass private transport.

Daihatsu Pico: a compact electric car with a running line

Japanese manufacturers have demonstrated at the Tokyo Motor Show, the most adequate perception of the future of the industry.

The energy source is a lithium-ion battery 17.6 kWh, charging her 20 percent to 80 percent by only half an hour. In the cargo hold is mounting for fixing the two Smart e-bike, electric car and if necessary, to share with tales of his charge the battery. Bicycles, in turn, are equipped with a 250-watt motor back Bionx, with a belt drive instead of chains. Built-in battery, by the way, enough to almost 100 km. Plans for mass production electric vehicle is not reported anything like its estimated value.
