Electric cars are getting sexy

This is a beautiful automobile. This is the Dodge ZEO concept car introduced at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

This car is all electric, ZEO stands for Zero Emissions Operation, made from lightweight aluminum and has a driving range of 400 kilometers (approximately 250 miles). Electricity is provided by multiple batteries under the floor, it rear wheel driven by a 200-kilowatt electric motor.

It is being billed as Americas next generation muscle car, but you won’t be able to hear the pipes roar on this baby. I long for the days when Americas true muscle cars roared from the starting block and this is one aspect that will be sorely missed. But the style of this car go along way towards making up for it.

Battery technology, of course, cannot match the distance of a conventional gas-powered car, but it will by the end of the next decade. But with the average commute less than 25 miles to and from work everyday, this car should be introduced a lot sooner.
