Top 8 US Made Electric Vehicles of 2008 Top 8 US Made Electric Vehicles of 2008 Top 8 US Made Electric Vehicles of 2008
Taking a break from diesel power, electric vehicles are also on the rise. For a while the big developments have been overseas. Recently, there has been a surge of electric concepts from domestic manufacturers. Here are the top 8 in no particular order.
Fisker Automotive Karma
The Karma is a high-performance electric vehicle set to hit the market in mid to late 2009. It can travel up to 50 miles on battery power alone and when the small 4-cylinder engine takes over, it can hit numbers in excess of 100mpg. There is also a duel running mode where both electric and gas power can be drawn upon to hit 60mph in 5.8 seconds.
Dodge ZEO
The ZEO is a performance electric vehicle most likely pointed in your younger buyer’s direction. It has a range of 250 miles per charge and will go from 0 to 60 in “less than 6 seconds.” Wide fender flares rest above a set of 23″ wheels and low-profile tires. Not bad.
