Ugh. I know I’m lame. Sorry.

Trumping the aforementioned Tesla Motors Company<\/a>‘s plans for an electric family car, Phoenix Motorcars announces their (arguably) affordable ($45K) electric SUV at the LA Auto Show<\/a>. Phoenix Motorcars<\/a>, who are so cool they don’t need words in their URL (http:\/\/66.218.37.153\/index.htm, again, I’m lame), says it’ll have a range of 250 miles and do about 110 mph, similar to Tesla’s roadster. Both cars are powered by lithium-ion batteries and both cars manufacturers promise said batteries won’t catch fire. Phoenix also says they’ll sell a special adapter to recharge the SUV in 6 to 7<\/strike> less than 10 minutes, which to me sounds like a big deal.
