Dodge EV, a prototype electric coupe
Chrysler has made its headquarters in Auburn three prototypes of electric vehicles, including the Dodge EV. Everything is part of a plan to put on the market one of these models, struggling for growth in the sector of the electric sports. Initially had his sights on the U.S. market, but say that later would jump to the old continent.

Upon seeing the pictures and read Dodge EV keep thinking is inevitable, what is this model of Dodge? None, as it is a modification of the Lotus Europa, but with logos of Dodge and sporting stickers. So we are faced with a two-seater coupe, and with very slight pull back but this time propelled by an electric motor. There are three parts to transform energy into force of movement: a stack of lithium-ion batteries, electric motors and a controller integrated energy.
The resulting energy to the motor through the first driver to obtain an output of 268 hp, and like most such engines, a couple astronomical compared with the power: 650 Nm. Dodge estimates that the EV can reach a maximum of 196 km / h and rolled up to 100 km / h in under 5 seconds. The autonomy estimated ranges between 240 and 320 km, which psychologically increases come into effect plug-in: Through a connection of current batteries can be recharged in about 4 hours at 220 V.

At this point it is impossible not to think in two models: the Zeo Concept, a prototype four-door coupe in which Dodge installed this technology, and Testa EV Roadster, a prime example of electric sport utility vehicles. The latter still "flowing" ahead with its 352 km of autonomy and its improved services, while it has a load of batteries 8 hours at 220 V. There are few data to compare but begins to have a major rivalry in the segment.
As for visual style, plus the adaptation Lotus-Dodge in contrast black and yellow, there is a characteristic wing and inside a range of carbon fiber inserts and a three-spoke steering wheel with the initials EV on the inside.
