Electric cars: The "Evette"

This homebuild electric car makes 200 miles per charge and it looks not too bad. The doors are great and do a little bit more than remind me of the great Lamborghinis. But this is much cheaper. And unfortunately much slower, too.

with a range of 200 miles and a top speed of 60 miles per hour. Like the Wrightspeed, however, a big chunk of the car is nothing but batteries, with twenty-four 12-volt batteries packed into that fiberglass body, which can supposedly be recharged at a cost of just $2 (although they'll have to be replaced every three to five years). While it's a one of a kind wonder for now, the husband and wife duo are currently seeking investors to help them mass produce the car, which they say could go for as little as $25,000 once production ramps up -- although we're guessing they'd probably have to change the name, or face some expenses of another sort.
