Electric Vehicles are pushing the envelope by drag racing thanks in part to NEDRA the National Electric Drag Racing Association!
- See what happened at the 2005 NEDRA Woodburn Nationals!
- Discovery Channel Electrified Dragster - Power of DC Video.
- Congratulations to Plasma Boy, John Wayland on his recent success at breaking into the 12's and through the 100mph 1/4 mile barriers in his street legal Electric Datsun White Zombie!
- A new EV project named Gone Postal has made a number of very respectable runs, with plenty more if Rodrick can prevent it from trying to destroy itself. It's quite a sight to behold, a tricked out converted postal van dragster zooming down the drag strip at 90+mph.
- EVs aren't just drag racing, check out the ProEV Electric Imp autocrossing! This car is using high power Kokam Lithium-ion batteries.
- The tzero by ACPropulsion is a high end EV utilizing the latest Li-Ion battery technology with a range of nearly 300 miles and performance on par with the Lamborghini Murcielago, or Porsche Carrera GT. Yes, you heard right 0-60 in the Sub 4 second range. It recently earned the highest grade at the 2003 Michelin Challenge Bibendum Sept. 29, 2003, receiving a 3.40 GPA. But don't expect to hear much about it in the mainstream media.
- The Tango of Commuter Cars Corp. may very well redefine the way you drive to work. It too touts acceleration of 0-60 in the 4 second range, yet with annual production of 100,000 units, pricing could be in the affordable $10k to $29k range. With it's slim motorcycle like half width design and lane splitting ability at least it's still a funny looking (cbs video) EV. Don't want to disappoint you with all normal looking EVs ;)
