AC Propulsion eBox
Tom Hanks just took delivery of his eBox, which takes an existing Scion xB, pulls out the engine and drive train and replaces it with AC Propulsion electric drive system. AC gives 0-60 times of 7 seconds, a top speed of 95 mph and a charge rate of 30 minutes for 20 to 50 miles. The range is somewhat small at 140-180 miles and it's somewhat pricey - $55,000 plus the purchase of the new Scion, but you can buy one tomorrow. Well, maybe not tomorrow, the AC Propulsion eBox is available as a California-only vehicle. At Santa Monica's AltCar Expo in 2006, there was a line three-deep just to sit inside this custom Scion. The tuner kids can eat their hearts out.
