11 February 2009: DODGE CIRCUIT EV: As an all-electric vehicle, the Dodge Circuit EV delivers sports car performance with zero gasoline consumption, zero tailpipe emissions and 150-200 mile driving range. Propelled by a completely electric ENVI drivetrain, the Circuit EV utilizes just three powertrain components. These include a 200 kW (268 horsepower) electric motor to drive the wheels, an advanced lithium-ion battery system to power the electric-drive motor, and a controller that manages energy flow. Recharging the vehicle is a simple one-step process: plugging into a standard 110-volt household outlet. Using a typical 220-volt household appliance power outlet can cut the recharge time. Visually, the front of the vehicle features the distinctive Dodge crosshair grille, a long, low hood, and deep scallops on the body sides that functional as rear-brake air duct (Photo by Alan Look/Icon Sport Media via Getty Images)
