Not All Electric Cars Are Ugly

I'll admit it, not all EVs look stunning. Most of them look pretty ridiculous, like they came out of a sci-fi movie or something. The Prius was America's first electric car that was embraced by a lot of the public, but I still think it looks sub par and it's not even a genuine electric! Here are some EVs that I think look pretty cool.

The Ultimate Aero is originally a really fast gas car; like 0-60 in under 3 seconds fast. The electric version of this car does not disappoint. Shelby, the makers of the Aero, claims 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 208mph! If that doesn't impress you, this might. They also claim a charge time of 10 minutes and a range of 200 miles. Now that is pretty ridiculous, and if these claims are true, it would make this the ultimate EV!

From Britain, the Lightning GT is another monster EV. The UK based company claims 700hp and a 10 minute charge. This car reminds of an Aston Martin and so does the $300,000 price tag. Not a lot is known about this EV because production has been delayed and testing still needs to be done.

The Tesla Roadster is the pride and joy of the bay area. Tesla is headquartered in Palo Alto and provides the most affordable EV super car out of the bunch with a base price of $109,000. The roadster accelerates to 60mph in under 4 seconds and can go 240 miles on a full charge. Tesla is also set to debut its Model S in 2012. The Model S is a sedan that is set at a price half of the roadster!
