StreetScooter test drive of first $7,000 EV protoype [video]

The StreetScooter project is a $7,000 EV with a 74 mph top speed and an 80-mile range that aims to demonstrate that electrical vehicles can be produced at a competitive $7,000 price in small batches by a network of supply chain partners without the need for sustained government funding.

The StreetScooter project is a cooperative venture of over 80 auto parts suppliers, engineering firms, and electronics companies.

It was launched in December 2007 and is scheduled to roll out its first batch of 10 prototypes at the end of 2011. Production in Europe is slated for 2013.
