The Dodge EV concept car, also called Dodge Circuit EV sports car, was a two-passenger, rear-wheel-drive, all-electric sports car shown to the public at the 2009 North American International Auto Show by Dodge.
[1] The car was based on the Lotus Europa S, and combined a lithium-ion battery pack with a 200 kW (270 hp) electric motor, capable of 480 lb⋅ft (651 N⋅m) of torque.
[2] Dodge claimed that the Dodge EV had a driving range of 150–200 miles (240–320 km), approaching the range and performance of the all-electric Tesla Roadster, which is built on the same chassis.
[2] Dodge unveiled the working prototypes of this all-electric vehicle and announced plans to bring it to market in the United States by 2010.
[3] But in May 2009 Autocar claimed the project was cancelled[4] and in November Fiat SpA disbanded Chrysler's ENVI electric car division and dropped its models from future product plans.
