Electric Cars For Sale

The electric car industry is charged up like never before, and that augurs well for the world. Every few weeks we get to hear news about some new or established auto maker revealing its plans for developing electric cars for sale. Chrysler which had already entered the electric car race recently unveiled three prototypes of electric cars, out of which one would be in the market by 2010. The three models include the Chrysler EV, the Jeep EV and the Dodge EV. Out of these three, only the Dodge EV would be a pure plug in electric car. The other two have gas engines that serve as backups designed to take over after the cars have traveled around 40 miles on electric power.

The Dodge EV, on the other hand, has a maximum speed of 120 miles per hour and can travel up to 160 to 200 miles on a single charge which would take 8 hours on standard 110 volt outlets. It has an electric engine that can generate power which is equivalent to 268 horsepower and 480 lb/feet torque. Its 0-60 time is estimated to be less than 6 seconds and it can travel quarter of a mile within 13 seconds. Overall this car surely means serious business!
