Bollore Group of France, which is mainly a French battery company has come up with an electric car named “Blue Car”. Designed by Philippe Guedon and is claimed to go 0 to 60 kmph (37 mph) in 6.3 seconds and has a range of 250 km (155 miles) on a single battery charge, with a top speed of 120 kmph (75 mph). Now all this varies on road and weather conditions, so take note. Blue car uses lithium-metal-polymer battery technology which takes about 6 hours to recharge.

The draw backs:

1. You are limited to a travel radius of 155 miles.
2. Limited pickup speed.
3. Holds only three passengers (incld. driver) in its three front row seats.

The only advantage I see at this point it that this car has zero emissions and that over time the battery has more development potential.
