Austrailian Trev Electric Doesn't Hold Kangaroos, Unfortunately [Alternative Energy]

Developed by faculty and students at the University of South Australia is this Green oddly shaped mobile. The designers are pushing this as the future commuter car in Australia. It is capable of going 0-60 in 10 seconds and tops out at a blistering 74 mph. It's range is 93 miles per charge of its lithium ion polymer battery.

Reports say that the cost per usage is $1 AUD per 100 km, which converts into real money as $.87 per 62 miles. You know the vehicle the Ambiguously Gay Duo drives? Yeah, this is that, minus the balls.

Trev The Green Car

Trev The Green Car

Not only is the Trev a green car (literally), it also helps keep the earth clean by running on a 7kWh 44kg lithium ion polymer battery. Don't scoff at the Trev, as it can hit 100kph from a standstill in 10 seconds, with a top speed of 120kph. A full charge will provide a maximum running range of 150km. How much damage does it do to your wallet when you try to recharge it? Not much actually - just AUD$1 per 100 km, which is dirt cheap. Families can forget about this as the Trev is definitely no people mover, but meant for yuppies to impress their potential mates and just enough room at the back to throw a briefcase or two inside.
