Dodge has unveiled their new concept car at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The Dodge Zeo is an all electric plugin. This plug-in electric car is purported to go the distance —a claimed 250 miles on a single charge. I think the car is pretty nice looking. Don’t know about the scissor doors for a family but cool never the less. Combining a rear-drive platform with a 64-kilowatt-hour, lithium-ion battery pack and a 200-kilowatt (268-horsepower) electric motor—and a claimed 0-60-mph time of under 6 seconds—This car will have plenty of power.

Bill Zheng, Dodge ZEO principal exterior designer, says, “The Dodge ZEO concept is designed to break the paradigm of what an electric car should look like.”

Also pretty similar in design to the volt except the Zeo is an all-electric plugin. I would take this over the volt any day.

I was just looking at this, i'm VERY happy with the design and the performance specs. I just hope they dont wimp out on it.

if that car came out in production for a reasonable price I would own one... That is fantastic.

Hi everyone, as a mid 80's early 90's dodge lover, I think theyve finally started to get with the cool sleek design again! I love this car. Would love to get one if it comes out. I wonder how much it would start at.....
