What are some good electric cars out there that you charge up at home?

Question

Zenn, I think, has a class 2(Under 35 mph) vehicle that can go 40 miles round trip that it is willing to sell you for $7000 a piece. How much fuel could you save? I think it takes 3 hours to charge the battery plugging it in at home. Prolly good around town.

Answer 2

watch "Who Killed the Electric Car?" it's a verrrry interesting documentary that will answer almost any question about electric cars. GM did put them out but took them back for a few different reasons.

Answer 3

Any electric car can be recharged from any 240v 13A supply.

but quicker recharge from 30A.

At the moment there are very few on the market outside california.

If you ask your car dealer for electric vehicle be warned this could put you on the FBi suspect list for anti-american activity http://www.newsweek.com/id/51251
