5 Electric Cars That Failed To Cover Distance

#4 Nissan Altra

Nissan Motors produced its electric car – Nissan Altra between 1998 and 2002. This was a variant of Nissan R’Nessa. The batteries were installed beneath the floor of the vehicle.

The car’s mileage was 140 miles between a 5 hour battery charging interval and a charge discharge cycle over 1000 times. But it was used as a fleet vehicle and the company made only 200 of them.

Nissan Altra however became the most popular highway electric car in the world.

#3 Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar

This was one of the 1970’s people mover that evolved in three models. The first one called SV-36 had a 2.5 HP motor and 36v battery pack. SV-48 had a 3.5 HP motor and a 48v battery pack.

The third model was the Transitional CitiCar. This came with an improved drive train and a 6 HP motor. The body was slightly transformed to incorporate heater inlet vents on the side of the vehicle.
