All-electric Volvo C30 project presented for the first time

It looks like a regular Volvo C30 and it features the very same safety, comfort and space as the standard car. The difference is that it is powered solely by electricity, entirely without exhaust emissions, and has a range of up to 150 kilometre

Sounds and looks great until you look at the distance it can cover on a full charge, 150 kilometres, converts to approximately 50 miles, not much range in real terms and when you take into account hills , stop start traffic etc I can see the range being reduced even more. Perhaps the car manufacturers should spend more time fine tuning hydrogen driven cars instead if trying to improve on the electric milk float .
