    Looks like a Ssang Yong to me...




    The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altairnano batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:

    -Travel up to 250 miles per charge
    -Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
    -Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
    -Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)
    More about its technology...

    Damn, that's good news.

    I was kind of leery about the claims for the battery technology, but if they're set to start selling, we'll soon see how these new fast-charging batteries work out. The technology might not be the great leap we've been hoping for, but it's a huge step in the right direction.

    EDIT: Awww.... who am I kidding... if the charge times hold up in real world usage, that'd be spectacular!

    You probably need a special charger... I don't think household current can flow that fast.
