The Citroen C-Zero Electric Car - With Video

The Citroen C-Zero







PSA and Mitsubishi teamed up to make an electric car based on the iMiEV. The result will be the Citroen C-Zero which is scheduled to hit the showrooms late 2010.

Here are some specifics:

Drivers will be able to fully charge the car in six hours via a regular outlet, allowing a range of 80 miles. Alternatively, an 80 per cent charge takes just half an hour using a 400V supply. Citroen claims a 0-62mph time of 15 seconds, and accelerate from 37-56mph (50-70km/h) in six seconds. Top speed is pegged at 80mph.

The C-Zero will ship with power steering, ABS, traction control, ESP, electric windows, six airbags and air conditioning as standard.

Citroen has told reporters that the C-Zero will be commercially available at the end of 2010 and, although no prices have been confirmed yet, insiders expect that it will cost around £10,000 ($16,500).
