Sure, electric vehicles are slow, unbalanced, and not to mention small vehicles. When it comes to fuel economy though, they’re definitely second to none. Although I’ve had numerous posts regarding electric vehicles, there’s no way that I’ll be missing on another low-speed beauty called Kurrent.

Essentially a microcar, the Kurrent is a slick two-seater and unlike most small electric vehicles out there, it’s fully enclosed. Aside from that, it also boasts of lockable doors, roll down windows, and even a glass roof. Standard features include wipers, a complete lighting system, parking brakes, and seat belts.

So how does this small carriage gets its power? As an electric vehicle, the Kurrent uses 5.5 horsepower electric motor that is being supplied by a couple of 12-volt batteries. Since it uses stored electricity to run, it has a limited range of 25-40 miles while maintaining a constant speed of 25 mph. To impress you further, it features McPherson strut and regenerative braking as well.

Because of its small size, the Kurrent can only accommodate two passengers at the same time. However, it still has enough space in its lockable trunk to allow a couple of grocery bags inside it.

Needless to say, the Kurrent is far from being an epitome of power and speed. When it comes to MPG ratings though, you don’t even need an ounce of gasoline to make it run. Simply plug it into a regular 220-volt outlet and you’re good to go.
