Just saw this on Slashdot - looks quite cool:

Quick extract:
"Called the Eliica - short for Electric Lithium-Ion battery Car - this radical 800bhp eight-wheeler from Japan is proof that electric vehicles can be fast and fun to drive, too. Boasting a four-second 0-60mph sprint and seven-second 0-100mph time, the Eliica is faster than a Porsche 911 Turbo."
Only problem is that at the moment it will cost £170,000 to produce.

And the fact that it's hideously ugly. Anyone else think that the front lights have a hint of Honda Civicness....if you squint and look through one eye.

Looks like a bizarre 'futurised' Citroen DS.

or one of those strange renaults....

£170,000 for a 230mph supercar is not out of the question, is it? I could name a few others.
Anyway, I think the Honda Civic (Type-R) looks great - and not at all like the Eliica.

Boycott shoddy build and reliability.

This one will never go into production, but it will have bought electric cars much closer to us.
Lets face it, with oil stocks dwindling.
All they need to do is get that 10 hour charging time down to something reasonable, or supply a home core reactor with it.
I suspect they will have to supply a huge capacitor to the owner so that he can simply zap the car on a daily basis before he leaves for work. The addition of cutting edge solar technology will also help IMO.
