THE FUTURE IS HERE! Feature

We’ve come a long way since the previous generation of electric cars, they were boxy, non-aerodynamic, and looked pretty awkward. And to top it all off they weren’t even highway legal, and this was the state of the late 90s and early 2000s. It’s mind-boggling to think how far we’ve come in just a short span of 18 years. The cars we’ve today have a streamlined design are easy on the eyes, the same can’t be same for the pocket, unfortunately. They as well happen to be faster than some of the gasoline-powered sports cars that you can buy today.

Already checking the idea of being the master of one of the fastest, coolest and eco-friendly cars?
