It’s no surprise that any experimental vehicle, such as the Circuit EV, is on hold. Between Chrysler/Fiat and the financial troubles of car companies in America any and all chance taking has been forbidden. Some speculate that the Chrysler EV line was never meant for public transport or actual production – it may have all been a big marketing scheme to draw attention…or maybe get the government creditors off their backs.

Dodge’s EV Coupe is still a great idea and could be very profitable down the line. It’s a Tesla Motors-type electric sports car, capable of reaching zero-to-sixty in under five seconds and has a range of 150 to 200 miles, with a little help from the lithium-ion battery pack. It can (if this car is actually real) recharge from your average household electrical outlet, as long as you have 4 to 8 hours of no driving. But for now the EV is not in Dodge’s future – for the time being it’s all about staying afloat.
