All Electric Vehicles Appearing

Recently I blogged that the future of cars is electric. Here’s an offering from Phoenix Motorcars that drives the point home (Ok, bad pun). No word on the cost but if it lives up to the specifications I’m mighty interested. My only question is “Why a pickup truck?” There appears to a sedan model but there is little information about it other than these twophotos.
