Eco Factor: Zero-emission car designed to be powered by an electric engine.
Massachusetts-based Factory Five, the world’s leading designer and seller of kit cars, has showcased an all-electric version of a 1933 hot rod that according to the company can reach a speed of 100kph in under 4 seconds and has a range of about 160km.
The 2200lb car is powered by A123 lithium-ion batteries, which generate a total output of 300hp and no less than 660lb-ft of torque. However, the vehicle’s ecofriendly credentials don’t come cheap, as the designers believe that the electric motor costs about $40,000, and the batteries are charged by a high-voltage charger that cost thousands of dollars.
