Default World's Fastest Electric car - 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds

http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/collecting/2003/10/21/cx_dl_1021vow.html

AC Propulsion's tzero roadster is a reason to not give up on the electric vehicle. The tzero does 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, according to the company, and it does it on only 200 horsepower because of its light weight and torque.

The San Dimas, Calif.-based company says the tzero (pronounced "tee-zero," not "chair-o") has compared favorably in acceleration tests to Corvettes, Porsche 911s--and even a Ferrari F355, which it claims to have "out-accelerated...by eight car lengths" in one-eighth-mile drag races. If for nothing else, the tzero's $220,000 sticker price puts it in exotic-car territory.
And they say it can only go 280 to 300 miles at 60 miles per hour. That's decent battery capacity !!

Now if they can knock $200,000 off that price !!!

Yes, I think they were talking about "0 to 60 times for electric cars which might be purchased by a consumer."
