The North American International Auto Show is off to an amazing start. I woke up to oodles of press releases in my inbox including a whole host of new green offerings. First up is the Dodge Circuit EV. Chrysler Motors has released details on several new electric vehicle concepts. Considering the fact that Chrysler nixed its current hybrid offerings, this is good news from the troubled automaker.

Dodge Circuit EV Highlights
• 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds
• 13 second ¼ mile
• 120+ mph top speed
• 200 kW (268 horsepower) electric motor
• Driving range of 150 to 200 miles
• Plug in to a standard 110 volt outlet; reduced charging time using 220 volt outlet

“The Dodge Circuit EV design screams pure sports car from every angle. The Dodge Circuit EV’s profile demonstrates perfect proportions for balanced handling, placing the driver and passenger midway along the wheelbase. At the front of the vehicle, the distinctive Dodge crosshair grille splits the wind, sending it over the long, low hood and cleanly over the windshield and cockpit. The body sides feature a deep scallop, providing visual depth and also a functional rear-brake air duct. At the rear, the functional elements blend with design to create a uniform finish. “ (Source: Chrysler)
