Subaru G4e

EVM score: 7
Range: 124 mi
Speed: highway speeds likely
Price: ?
Battery: Li-Vanadium (346v)
Safe: yes
This is a hot little hatch. We'll know more about it Oct 24 when new announcements are scheduled. It's predecessor, the R1e, has a top speed of 62 mph which doesn't exactly say highway capable to me. Don't worry, Subaru won't let us down. They'll just slap an outback sport badge on it and give it a 0-60 in 4 seconds. Just u wait enry iggins. So if they can get the price right and deliver on that 124 mi then I think this car will blow our socks off. And they are expecting it in 2009. Cool beans.

No additional info, at this point you have found all the data I have plus a good bit more...but as a fellow Subaru-enjoying Impreza-driver (only mine's a 2002) who wants to go electric in the next 4 years or so, I'll be following your progress with great interest! Good luck!--JKB in Chicago
