Electric Cars. Are We There Yet?
At the Detroit auto show this week, Chrysler showed off three green car concepts, including an all-electric one called the Zeo that will go from zero to sixty in 5.7 seconds and hit 130 miles per hour. The car can also go 240 miles on a single charge.
Unlike Nissan, which is looking at electric town cars, Chrysler seems to be touting performance. The speeds and range of the Zeo rival the upcoming Tesla Roadster. The Zeo even has four seats and four doors, unlike the two-seater Roadster. The big difference, of course, is that the Zeo is a concept car and many of those never make it out of the convention. (Note the crazy doors.) The first Tesla Roadsters will hit the road soon.
Ready to but one?
Well, it will be a few years before they are ready.
It's a good sign though that more automakers are giving it a try....
