    An electric car that can hang with Ferrari? I'll believe it when I see it - and right now they are not saying much:

    People often oversee the Achille's Heel of electric cars: batteries.

    250 miles in a single charge is good enough!

    The Monaco car was in EVO Philippines... actually, it was fully reviewed there before most other magazines even mentioned it. The Venturi Fetish, or something to that effect, I think. 0-60 times were sub 4 seconds, but the price was astronomical. This one might be cheaper, based, as it is, on an existing production car.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    What car runs for 2cents per mile? 0-60mph in 4 seconds? Runs on equivalent to 135 miles/gallon? No pollution?

    Not a hybrid, not a concept car, it's real! and it comes with a battery

    Their first car is a Tesla Roadster (gorgeous ride) for the high end market but they say they are going to produce a mass market kind later on.

    Imagine the possibilities...

    1.145 km/MJ ...

    assuming for Philippines, energy cost is P10/kWh, and P42/li for gasoline ...

    1.145 km/MJ is equivalent to 17.3 km/li

    am i missing something here?
