Tokyo Motor Show: Subaru's G4e - lithium batteries, 120+ miles per charge, seats five
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Subaru, Tokyo Motor Show
Here's a concept vehicle that I know would sell well. Four doors, seats five, all-electric, and can go 200 clicks (124 miles) on a charge. Salivating yet? Someone call Subaru and tell them we want the G4e now.
Of course, just how much we'd have to pay for one of these EVs is unknown. Those lithium-ion batteries, stored under the floor, certainly don't come cheap. Still, Subaru will show off the G4e at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, just to tease us. The marque's theme for the show is "Fantastic moments," so this might be more fantasy than we'd like. Relevant portions of the press release (PDF) are pasted after the jump. We can expect more information on October 24, when Subaru's Ikuo Mori talks to the press.
