Volvo Electric Car? Why Not Make The Safest Brand...Volvo Electric Car... Why Not Make The Safest Brand... And Make the Volvo Electric Car The Safest For Earth... Most of the world's makers have been busy trying different fuels and power types. Most if not all makers have been busy with some kind of electric or hybrid vehicle design. The Prius from Toyota and the Insight from Honda are selling well now, in fact the other makers are starting to sweat. This gives them a lead in the market and the other makers are beginning to panic about the possibility of being left behind, but not Volvo... Most if not all electric cars on the market are made by bit players, small manufacturers with some muscle but not the manufacturing might of Volvo, GM, Nissan, Mitsubishi who have all announced their plans recently... Volvo has begun a partnership with Ener1 to build its battery packs. While not yet in production, The Volvo Recharge will make people sit up and take notice.... Mainly because of looks, and the fact that it is all wheel electric drive...And sound... Want to hear what an Electric Car with 4 wheel motors sounds like? In 2007 Volvo demoed a 2 seater concept car which was a precursor to the vehicle which is to be manufactured by Volvo to recapture some market share... The differences between this car and others make it stand apart from them, not least is the wheel based motors which drive the vehicle... Also it has an 1.6l APU or auxiliary power unit... Also known as an "ICE' or Internal Combustion Engine which will act to keep the batteries charged up... Very much like the Chevrolet Volt Or The Fisker Karma... Volt From GM.... Lithium ion battery packs power up the vehicle, and the rest will be marketing... It's a 3 seater, unusual for a sporty car, and can get to 60 mph in less than 10 seconds... This may be conservative, considering the aerodynamics and the 3000 cell lithium ion battery. Cars like this Volvo Electric Car generally have a single 180 to 200 hp Electric motor... All wheel drive via 4 wheel based motors should provide much better performance and considering possible 50 hp or more each, quite likely providing stellar performamce that will make people really sit up and notice electric cars... Leave Volvo Electric Cars For Home...
