The tzero is an all electric sports car that was developed by AC Porpulsion in California. This is one exciting alternative fuel vehicle.

The tzero prototype has been raced against Ferraris, Porsches, and Vets and has equaled or beaten them. Now that is an amazing piece of machinery. In 2003 the tzero got the highest grades in the Michelin Challenge Bibendium.

The Michelin Challenge is not an easy win. It is a yearly competition for sustained road mobility to find a vehicle that will provide safer and cleaner mobility. Each alternate fueled vehicle must go through several grueling tests scoring the highest marks to be chosen a winner.


From AC Propulsion web site



The tzero is not longer being considered for sale but the technology that drove it continues to be used in cars like the Tesla, the Venturi Fetish and the Wrightspeed X1. The three prototypes that were built are still in use.

The company has recently developed a new electric car called the eBox. The eBox is an electric conversion car made from the Scion xB 5 speed model.

You deliver the Scion and only $55,000.00 or so later you will have your very own electric car. You must put $10,000.00 down and your car will be scheduled for a 2007 conversion. The cars are only available in California.

AC Propulsion will convert your Scion xB. First it will remove the engine and internal parts and install the electric drive system and the battery. The xB is an unusual combination of power and efficiency. It runs on a lithium ion battery.
