AC
Propulsion TZero - Electric-powered oddity
The AC Propulsion TZero is not for sale. It is a concept & development
vehicle to demonstrate that electric cars could be both fast and efficient.
AC Propulsion built three prototype tzeros, and considered selling
tzeros to the public, but production plans were dropped in mid-2003.
All three tzeros still run and continue to delight those who drive
them. Beyond those lucky few, the tzero exerts its influence through
new electric vehicles whose creation it has inspired.
The electric powered AC Propulsion TZero is built on a very capable
chassis from the Piontek Sportech. The TZero has a 100 mile range
at 60 miles an hour, and once power is depleted the TZero can be recharged
from any common 120 or 240-V outlet.
