Electric Dodge sports car

Based on the Lotus Europa, the Dodge Circuit EV is an all-electric sports car concept with typically muscular styling.

This all-electric vehicle delivers sports car performance with zero petrol consumption, zero tailpipe emissions and a 150-200 mile driving range.


Propelled by Chrysler's completely electric ENVI drivetrain, the Dodge Circuit EV posts impressive performance numbers.

It can do 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds, the quarter-mile run in 13 seconds, with a top speed of more than 120 mph.

The Dodge Circuit EV utilises just three powertrain components.

These include a 200 kW (268 horsepower) electric motor to drive the wheels, an advanced lithium-ion battery system to power the electric-drive motor, and a controller that manages energy flow.

The recharge time can be cut in half by using a typical 220-volt household appliance power outlet, as found in Europe.

Dodge has tweaked the design away from its Lotus Europa roots - at the front of the vehicle, the distinctive Dodge crosshair grille adorns the nose.

The body sides feature a deep scallop, providing visual depth and also a functional rear-brake air duct.

At the rear, the functional elements blend with design to create a uniform finish.

But in typical Europa fashion, the interior is described as 'uncomplicated', suggesting a stripped-down mix of pure function and athletic refinement.
