Edison2′s Very Light Car is now very electric, too

After we caught a glimpse of Edison2′s Very Light Car earlier this year, we were told to expect an electrical version of the X-Prize winning featherweight within the near future. Well, here it’s. Also known as the eVLC, this “supremely aerodynamic” concept car is powered by a ten-kWh battery pack and, believe it or not, can comfortably seat four passengers. The plug-in has yet to move in the course of the EPA’s official round of mileage testing, but Edison2 claims that the eVLC is way more fuel efficient than the Nissan Leaf and believes it might even receive the very best MPGe rating ever awarded. There’s still no word on when this little critter could hit the market, but you may take a look at Autoblog Green’s gallery (on the source link below) for a more extensive tour of what Edison2 calls the “inevitable way forward for the auto.”
