A Cheap Electric Sports Car?

March 12, 2008 · Written by Joel

Well, not exactly cheap, but it’s not $100,000 like the Tesla Roadster. Wired reports that the electric ZAP Alias will retail for around $30,000 in mid-2009.

ZAP Alias

What may not be immediately obvious is that it has three wheels. Unlike the famous Robin Reliant, the single wheel is at the back, and not the front. A projected range of 100 miles is promised with a top speed of 120mph. 2009 looks a little ambitious looking at the video – which is a computer model.

    Its going to be great when these technologies become more widely available. EVs have sure come a long way. Zap also has one like the Tesla, 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds!

Got something to say?
