Some Currently available Electric Plug-in Sports Cars
First released in 2002 by AC Propulsion, the Tzero costs US$220,000.-, does 0 to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds, and it does it on only 200 horsepower because of its light weight and torque.
The Tzero can go over 450 km without recharging, which it can do on any 120- or 240-V power socket. AC Propulsion claims the vehicle has efficiency equivalent to 70 mpg (and zero emissions)
