World's Fastest Electric Car SP:01

World's fastest electric car SP:01 has been unveiled in Shanghai Auto Show 2013 on Monday 14 April. The SP:01 is manufactured in America by a company called Detroit Electric, which claims to have produced the first ever electric car in Detroit back in 1907.

The SP:01 tops out at 249 km/h (155 mph) and can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in a fleet 3.7 seconds. Detroit Electric claims that the battery's 37 kWh of storage is good for 190 miles on a single charge. The special home-charging kit will fully charge an empty battery in about 4 hours 20 minutes. Two more high-performance Detroit Electric EVs are scheduled to commence production before the end of next year.
