$19,000 Electric Car Coming to US in May 2009: Introducing the Wheego Whip

Posted by CITIZEN POWER ALLIANCE at 4:01 PM

It looks surprisingly like a Smart Car and frankly has one of the dumbest names I’ve ever come across, but the $19,000 all-electric RTEV (Ruff & Tuff Electric Vehicles) Wheego Whip will be available in the United States in May 2009.

The Wheego Whip can reach a maximum speed of about 70 mph, but until it passes crash tests by the US DoT, expected sometime in 2010, it will be released initially as a Low Speed Vehicle (25 mph maximum speed) or a Medium Speed Vehicle (35 mph max). RTEV says that the Whip can travel 50 miles on single 8-hour charge, from any standard household 110 or 220v outlet.

    Excellent post about electric cars! It is my personal hope that we will move away from the dominance of fossil based fuel soon. These types of vehicles are a real inspiration to people like me that are in the industry. Thanks for a great blog and a great blog post.
