Real Electric Car featured in Star Trek movie

Recommended Posts

Nice find, UH! I wonder if it will be a flying car in the movie?

More than likely based on what I've heard. It wouldn't make much sense to have a car available in 2008 (only in California now) to be driven around in the same fashion in whatever time period the movie is primarily set in (presumably 2250-2265). It would date the movie.

Yeah, the report said it's a 3 seater I think (or 2 seater) and gets something like 350 miles per gallon. It'll only be sold in California to start and if that's the case I may move out there for a few weeks, set up residency and buy one. Unless it's $200,000 for the car lol

Of course, there are other electric cars in the pipeline. There's the Tesla roadster, but also there is an effort underway to revive the Detroit Electric (1907-39) brand. Grandma Duck's car was a Detroit Electric. And there is already an aftermarket plug-in set for the Prius, which will probably be a factory option soon. GM has an electric car in testing that's similar in shape to the 2009 Camaro seen in Transformers.
