Alex eroadster electric car
A new 2 seater electric car called the Alex eroadster is being designed and will be built in Dunleer Co. Louth, Ireland.[1] It is an ultra lightweight design, with the chassis being designed by a specialist composite chassis designer in Denmark. The body panels will also be made from advanced composites the manufacturers say[2]
The car will be driven by two axial flux motors driving the rear wheels. The motors will be powered by advanced Litium-ion battery modules stored in a compartment underneath the floor of the car. Top speed will be in the range 130-135kph. Expected range is 250–300 km.[3]
It will also feature a quirky combined canopy to allow entry and exit from the car.[4] The makers say that it saves a lot of weight by combining both doors with the roof. A prototype is expected to be available in July 2016 with the first car going on sale in January 2017.
