 Zap has teamed up with Lotus to create an electric sports car (pictured right) to compete with Tesla Motors and Wrightspeed. The Zap-X will be a $60,000 sedan, will run 350 miles per charge, will attain a full charge using a standard outlet in about 10 minutes, and do zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. Additionally, the car will have a theoretical maximum speed of 155 mph and sport 644 horsepower! Forgive me if this sounds to good to be true. If electric cars continue to make this much progress, the Audi A4 I just bought may be my last gas-powered car. |

Something in an electric Scion xB would turn me on, but this little Zapster is really sweet!
