The E-Beetle is a rebuilt 1971 Volkswagen with a lithium-iron battery powered motor, and a regenerative braking system that captures braking forces and converts it to extra power. The car has a range of 300 km at 100 km an hour, and takes about four hours to completely recharge via a standard outlet. With only 5% of the cars on the road actually being the newer types of alt fueled cars, the idea of transforming all the old cars into eco-mobiles is a really big idea (I would choose a battery powered vintage Countach).
