There is an all electric car that is being offered for sale to consumers in the US that is smaller than a Mini, what is the name of the car? How much does it cost? How fast does it go? What company makes it?
Answer
At this time, none of the major auto manufacturers are selling full electric highway-capable cars to the public.
There there is a company called ZAP (Zero Air Pollution) who sells a three-wheeled full-electric car called a Xebra that has a top speed of about 40 mph and a range of about 40 miles. List price is about $10,500. They are also working with Lotus on a vehicle called a ZAP-X which they say will have a top speed of 155 mph and a range of 350 miles. No word on the price point yet.
The Meyers Motors NmG (No more Gas) (formerly the Corbin Sparrow) is another three-wheeled electric car. It has a top speed of over 70 mph and a range of about 30 miles. It is available for $24,900.
There is another company called Commuter Cars who sell a full-electric two-seater called a Tango, the first of which was sold to actor George Clooney. It has a top speed of 150 mph and a range of 60-80 miles. They are not in full production yet. The model available now, the T600, costs $108,000. They plan to make the T200 available in 2008 for $40,000 and the T100 in 2009 for $19,000.
A company called AC Propulsion offers a conversion of a Scion xB to full electric. They call their offering the eBox. It has a top speed of 95 mph, and a range of 140-180 miles per charge, the conversion costs $55,000. Tom Hanks bought one of these recently.
Finally, Tesla Motors will offer the Tesla Roadster in 2008 for $92,000. (All of the 2007 models have been spoken for.) It has a top speed of 130 mph, range of 200 miles, and 0 to 60 in about 4 seconds.

Answer
the electric car was built in the 1920's. using the same model they put 4 electric motors, one on each wheel. (saw that model in the car museum in Luray VA)
batteries ran the car and it had to be recharged about every 20 miles. Built on what looks like a model t chassis.
If you are trying to build a newer road usable car, there are kits for the older bug, some are hybrids - some are all electric. no idea on the range in time or milage.
