Yes it looks like a Lotus Elise because it
is- - as a base design but modified by Lotus to fit the all electric design!
The electric motor only weights 70 pounds and uses a very efficient drive.
However with batteries it weights 500 pounds more than the Elise at
~2700lbs.
Yep in includes air conditioning and even seat heaters!! This is no
stripped home made kit!
Your
still saying; "But electric production uses lots of oil your only
pushing the problem to someone else." The developer says BS! He
provides the pie chart right showing 63% of US oil is consumed for
transportation.
However it doesn't show that 1/2
the power generation in the US is from coal! See chart below for a
complete picture:

Note 19.7% of our US electricity is generated by
Nuclear power and 6.9% by Hydroelectric. You can also charge the
batteries off-peak. In addition to paying much less for power (as we have
been at our home for 20 years ) your using power when the demand is so low
the power companies have to cut production way back. The
Nuclear, Hydro and Wind Power are kept at high capacity so you'll be using
electricity produced by an even higher percentage of these none
"Greenhouse Gas" producing processes!
Since we mentioned wind power -- did you know
wind tower production employs a lot of welding? See Below: |

Lot of Welding! ESAB sells a compete production line for wind towers.

 Formula
1 for 2009 allows the use of Kinetic Energy Recover Systems (KERS.)
Several systems are being employed and others considered. Some use
typical current Hybrid technology, i.e. battery stored energy delivered to
electric motors, however very intriguing are the straight mechanical
systems. Some of these use flywheels to store and delivery energy.
Some are using hydraulics, storing high pressure hydraulic fluid and
delivering power to small light weight hydraulic motors.
