Some Currently available Electric Plug-in Sports Cars


First released in 2002 by AC Propulsion, the Tzero costs US$220,000.-, does 0 to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds, and it does it on only 200 horsepower because of its light weight and torque.


The Tzero can go over 450 km without recharging, which it can do on any 120- or 240-V power socket. AC Propulsion claims the vehicle has efficiency equivalent to 70 mpg (and zero emissions)

Hybrid Technologies is building the $125,000 LiX-75 electric supercar, which goes from 0-100km in just 3 seconds and has a top speed of 320km/h.

The Mullen GT sports car frame is fitted with lithium ion batteries which can store more energy and degrade less quickly when not in use than the nickel metal hydride batteries used in hybrid cars today.
Charging takes four to six hours and reach is about 160km on a single charge, which is boosted by solar panels on the trunk.
