Nice looking car, but the whole concept that "electric cars produce less emissions than combustion engines do," is a joke. How many emissions are produced @ the power plant in order to produce the electric power that the car is plugged into?

Wow, could they have ripped off lotus more hardcore if they tried?

Yah, but at what cost?

It looks like a Lotus because it is a Lotus.

The Tesla is made out of the Lotus Elise and the cars are shipped from Lotus in England to Tesla in California for final assembly.

Also note the first gen RSX headlights. Not a fan of electric cars myself.

I like it. I don't like EVs at all but if eventually forced to drive one it will look something like that.





Yeah? Both the Chrysler EV concept (pictured in the link above) and the Tesla are based on the Elise?
Interesting stuff.

I would drive it if it had a gas engine in there to extend the range.

Keep burning all your dinos cause an electric cars torque is instantaneous

I don't like the front end.

I like the torque of electric motors and how its delivered, but as it stands right now, you can have a more powerful car that weighs less with a combustion engine.

The EV is a Lotus Europa with an electric engine.

you guys are crazy. EV's are the future. Im a huge fan. I think everyone should start DD Evs and keep our vettes and fbodys for weekend fun. Why not drive something all week that uses no gas? Save it for the weekend. And Ev's are just as much fucn as a v8. Has anyone here drove a Tesla? Or a Shelby EV replica? Theyre a blast!!! Or even the Rav4 EV. Electric engines have 100% torque 100% of the time. It makes for a zippy, fun ride. This car, if its ever produced, will be amazing! Ill buy 10 of them. And change all the front ends but thats aside from the real beaty here.

Once we have plenty of nuclear power I would agree...until then I think we should use gasoline. At the moment we create our electricity using coal. I do not want to be breathing coal fumes.

Well, the've proved that fossil fuel is really made from more than just dinosaurs. And Dodge paid for the body, so it purposely looks that way. And 480 lbs torq comes with it.

Not until they make the batteries last longer and more efficient. Most of these EV only have a range up to 100 miles MAX then you gota charge it for the night after u drive home from work. Forget about have 400ft lbs of torque and 265hp, you use that for a second and there goes 10 miles off ur battery charge. Not to mention the harm done to the environment to make these batteries and dispose of them 10 years later.

And the fact that electricity produces pollution just as burning gasoline does.

The Dodge EV isn't even a real car, it's a concept trotted out to make Chrysler look like a viable green company so they could get their hands on government money when the time to beg arrived.

LOL when I read this I had to check out the link, Your right, that is one ugly *** car.
