Super sick electric car: Shelby Ultimate Aero EV

Leave it to Shelby to blow the [electric car] world out the water with this beast.  With 1000hp, top speed of 208mph and a 0-60 of only 2.5 seconds, this thing is sure to get you the company softball game quickly.

The most exciting thing to me though is they have technology which will allow it to be recharged in as little as 10 minutes.  So while it has the typically short electric car range of 150-200 miles, 10 minutes isn’t really any longer than you’d spend at a gas station.  Long distance travel could be possible.

Isn’t the majority of our electric produced from fossil fuels though?  Why haven’t we gotten with that whole nucular thing.
