Switzerland is not all about the Alps and the cheese. When it comes to fuel-economy vehicles, the Swiss also can proud of one car called the Hotzi Electric Car. Truth is, I have never been to Switzerland although I would love to have the Hotzi Electric Car in my garage. Manufactured by engineering giant Kruspan Engineering, the Hotzi Electric Car runs using its highly-dependable lithium-polymer battery pack.
Ever since the Hotzi Electric Car has used Lipo batteries from Korea, its single-charge range has increased from 55 miles to a whopping 250 miles. That’s an MPG rating of 250 and you only need to charge the batteries for a couple of hours. Unlike other electric cars that run really slow, the Hotzi Electric Car has a decent speed of 80 mph. So how long does it take to get that 250-MPG range? Well Manufacturers have stated that it only takes an entire night to enjoy a 250-mile traveling range. After that, you can cover that distance and not worry about halting in the middle of nowhere.
When it comes to design, the Hotzi Electric Car is quite versatile. Weighing only 660 pounds, you can still maximize its passenger capacity by as much as four people.

I’d buy this car in heartbeat. The only problem is its size but with a 200 MPG rating? Damn

hey everyone, just wanna say that article was great stuff,very informative. i will be thinking about this for a couple hours now,i can feel it. the internet is a wonderful thing,so many great websites and helpful articles. even though this sounds very good, there will always be combustion cars, they are just too popular,they will never make it law.

These cars not only sound like a brilliant idea but they look cute too! Will they ever though be used by the car rental companies and offered for hire? I suspect not so how do we encourage them to do just that?
