Zenn Motor Company sort of comes close,
but I don’t think you are going to find that range for the price you specified. There are many here, including me, that wishes we could.

~~ What we all need is an around town electric car that gets 120 to 240 miles per charge and cost less than $25,000 preferably less than $20,000 and can carry 5 with room for some bags, etc. Something on the size of a Honda Fit, but all electric.

I love the concept of the Chevy Volt, but an all electric car described above would be more practical for me.

If I wanted to take an extended weekend trip or something, I could RENT a vehicle for such a purpose.

I’m with noel and N Riley,

10 second 0-60 acceleration is OK with me if I get affordability and range. Maybe with an extra ( empty ) battery-pack-compartment that you can slide in an additional battery when the pocketbook allows

btw due to electric motors’ strong torque, electric cars pretty much deliver their stated acceleration times, even when loaded up

Wasn’t one of the presidential candidates worried about socialism? Now we have companies who can’t make a profit without government help? Disappointing and shameful.
