The Dodge EV concept car, also called Dodge Circuit EV sports car, was a two-passenger, rear-wheel-drive, all-electric sports car shown to the public at the 2009 North American International Auto Show by Dodge.[1]
The car was based on the Lotus Europa S, and combined a lithium-ion battery pack with a 200 kW (270 hp) electric motor, capable of 480 lb⋅ft (651 N⋅m) of torque.[2]
Dodge claimed that the Dodge EV had a driving range of 150–200 miles (240–320 km), approaching the range and performance of the all-electric Tesla Roadster, which is built on the same chassis. According to Dodge, the Dodge EV could be recharged in eight hours using a standard 120 V outlet, or in only four hours using a 240 V outlet, the type commonly used for electric ovens and dryers.[2]
Dodge unveiled the working prototypes of this all-electric vehicle and announced plans to bring it to market in the United States by 2010.[3] But in May 2009 Autocar claimed the project was cancelled[4] and in November Fiat SpA disbanded Chrysler's ENVI electric car division and dropped its models from future product plans.[5]
