Using Altairnano batteries (based on the latest research from MIT), the Phoenix can:
*
- Drive up to 250 miles per charge
- Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph
- Charges batteries in as little as TEN minutes.
- Has a battery life of 250,000 miles (never replace the batteries.)
*
The cost of electricity to drive, in most places, is only a penny or two per mile. The cost of maintenence is also very low. The motor has only one moving part, and could last decades without repairs.

Cost is about $45,000. Expensive, but they are hand-built. The cost will drop if they are mass-produced.
