I am really suprise to see this coming from chrysler! They have been extremely secret in everything now that this are private and don't have to release things like sales numbers and stuff.

That sports car looks pretty sweet!

Apparently it's a Dodge-badged Lotus Europa.

So, a car such as this, according to the article, has a range of 150 - 200 miles on a full charge. How long does it take to charge a car like this, I wonder?

Does anyone have any idea?

Most of those that I've seen charge in 4-5 hours. The people who make the Tesla like to say - "How long does it take to charge your cell phone? No one knows because you charge it over night and then use it all day."

Looks like a Europa to me. Rather have it looking like that than the Prius-ized Volt.
