My goal here was not to design a flashy, trendy car, but one
that's functional, practical and efficient. The Nimos Ektron M1
has the following features:
-
Four electric motors can propel
the car 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds if needed.
-
It gives you 60 miles per
dollar under normal driving, and a range of 300 miles.
-
Power is supplied by battery
packs in the front, and under the trunk.
-
Batteries can be quick-charged
via power cord, but can also be slow-charged via the solar cell array
integrated into the roof. If you become stranded with no power,
simply leave the car in a sunny spot for a few hours, and you are good
for at least another 30 miles.
-
Batteries can be upgraded to
newer ones as they become available.
-
The two-seat version has enough
trunk space to sleep two adults. The 4-seat 4-door version is
also available.
-
Pollution and CO2 emissions are
zero.
-
It's four-wheel drive, naturally!
